More recipes from members this week:
  • "I made a very good "warm salsa": quickly saute onions, red pepper, cilantro, swiss chard, leftover corn on the cob, diced roma tomato and black beans....served on large blue corn chips with shredded chedder....a nice side to a deck dinner."
  • "we made the recipe you posted for the Swiss Chard potstickers with a few exceptions--we added chicken, corn & baby bok choy & used wonton wrappers....they were super yummy"
  • "I made this recipe last night:
    http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/whole-wheat-spaghetti-with-swiss-chard-and-pecorino-cheese-recipe/index.html

    YUMMYLICIOUS!! The flavors all came together so well, tangy and sweet. I love pine nuts and cheese and olives, it was all so good. We added a salad and a glass of white wine and it was perfect!"
We did not hold our Farm "Iron Chef" competition this week because tonight we are holding a local Farmer's Potluck. I am looking forward to seeing what everyone is growing and collecting more recipes. I will be taking notes and passing it along.
I hope you all have a safe, healthy and joyous holiday weekend,
