KALE YEAH!!! On Thursday when I got lots of kale from my @wildrabbitfarms CSA box, I knew I had to make one of my fave brunch dishes... scrambled eggs with kale, goat cheese & herbs! 🥚🍳🥬🐐🧀🌱 It’s a protein packed dish that will prepare me for the podcast interviewing ahead of me today!! 🥬❤️🥬❤️🥬 Micro Farmer Friend, Josh brought some glorious Tuscan kale which is the most glorious & beautiful dark green which inspired me to make this hearty and easy egg scramble that can be customized to whatever you’ve got on hand! I sautéed the chopped kale (minus ribs) in some butter with a pinch of salt. I fried it on medium heat until it was mostly wilted and some of the kale started to crisp up like a kale chip. Then I added the scrambled eggs and goat cheese and turned the fire down to low. Then I added my herbs (chive and dill from my garden). Slowly stirred the eggs until they were to my preferred creamy doneness! I finished it off with some of my Bay Salt! 👩🏼‍🍳🥬🥚👌🏻👏🏻🤤 Voila! A delish brunchy dish I’m enjoying on my patio while Sofie & Ringo chase butterflies and bees! 🐱🐈🦋🐝 Gotta love some local eats! Thanks Josh (and all farmers) for all your hard work to bring food to our tables! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 . . . . . . . #kellebjammin #wildrabbitfarms #csashare #lubbockcsashare #lubbockeats #nomnom #goodeats #brunch #eggs #scrambledeggs #goatcheese #chive #dill #tuscankale #kale #lacintokale #locallygrown #eatyourveggies #kaleyeah #kalechips #whatiate #breakfast #lubbock #lubbockfarmer #microfarmer (at Lubbock, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byk41YIgv0k/?igshid=1vlyhukgu1c1h

Cooking from scratch is a great way to reduce household trash. It can get overwhelming for me at times (like, all the time, ha) so I try to take shortcuts whenever I can. Roasting on a giant sheet pan is my favorite/easiest way to handle a lot of veggies before they go bad. After snapping this pic I doused the pan with olive oil, a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar, s&p, cinnamon, oregano and garlic. Oil/spices are purchased in bulk and vinegar in glass. Once roasted these are eaten plain on their own (my daughter is a huge fan of beets so she usually sits with the container picking them out to eat 😂), tossed into omelettes, thrown on top of pasta, in tuna, or wherever we need a boost of color and vitamins. #zerowastehome #fallcolors #eatyourveggies #csashare #savethefood @savethefood @intervalefoodhub

We Won, Revisited.

Remember that CSA share that we won the other week from Chicano Sol!? Well I promised that I share how we put that basket to use and I think I came up with some pretty tasty things (although I think my husband would disagree...he prefers my less adventurous meals).

With the butternut and jester squash I made a butternut/jester squash soup.  I also served this with a tomato and onion salad.  Here's the recipe:

2 tbs unsalted butter

1 medium yellow onion

1-2 teaspoons marjoram

1 bay leaf

3-4 cups of squash (in this case, butternut and jester)

1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

3 cups low sodium chicken broth

coarse salt

In a large dutch oven or heavy pot, melt butter of medium high heat and add the onion and marjoram; cook until the onion is softened.  Add the squash, cayenne, broth and bay leaf and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer until the squash is tender, approximately 20 minutes.  Season with salt.  Puree the entire mixture until smooth.

While I made this soup for us to eat by the bowl, I ended up using it with our seared scallops dinner (fancy!).  We served the seared scallops on top of a butternut squash soup "smear" - it was delicious!  Along side the scallops, I cooked up the mustard greens.

With the turnips, I made a turnip and potato soup.  I've never cooked with turnips before and I had absolutely no idea how to cook with them.  The soup recipe turned out rather well.  I topped it with a little cheese and bacon so it was a bit reminiscent of a baked potato soup which made my husband happier.  I threw together a small salad to go with the soup that included the yellow pepper and arugula as well.

The final meal I put together using the CSA share contents was a sausage and kale alfredo pasta.  We used one of Michael Symon's 5 in 5 recipes as inspiration.  This was what I'd like to call a "throw together" recipe...we took our recipe inspiration, took a look at what we had in the house and what we were in the mood for and came up with something we really enjoyed.  Here's the recipe:

1 lb chicken sausage, sliced (we used a chicken and apple sausage that was already cooked through)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1-2 cloves of garlic

1 medium onion (we used a sweet onion)

1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped

3-4 cups kale, cleaned and de-stemmed

1/2 jar alfredo sauce

1/2 cup white wine

Pasta of choice, we used rigatoni

Heat oil over medium to medium-high heat and add garlic, onion and sun dried tomatoes.  Sauté until onion is translucent; don't burn the garlic!  Add the chicken sausage and sauté for a couple minutes until warmed through.  Add the alfredo sauce and white wine, reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes.  Meanwhile, cook pasta per the instructions.  Once the pasta is done, toss the pasta in the sauce and enjoy!  (If we had parmesan cheese I would have grated a bit on top.)

(Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of this one!)

All in all I was pretty pleased with what I made with the contents of the CSA share.  I am hoping that I can convince my husband that investing in a share is a good idea!  If you have any questions about the recipes above, please do not hesitate to ask!
