Veggies this week:
Collard Greens
Broccoli
Early Red Onions
Swiss Chard
Radishes
Loose Leaf Lettuce

My Meals This Week:
I'm more excited about this meal with Tarragon than I was about last week's meal!
CSA veggies used: tarragon, leftover garlic stem from last week

Salsa
Not exactly a meal, but I make fabulous salsa & I can use the red onion & some garlic from last week.
CSA veggies used: red onion, garlic stem from last week

Marinara Sauce with Collard Greens
I use the Jamie Oliver marinara sauce recipe from one of his cookbooks. I think it's Jamie's Dinners. Basically it's just a bunch of tomatoes chopped up with garlic & olive oil. This time I'm going to chop up some collard greens & add that in too!

I'm creating my own stuffed potatoes this week! I'm going to make them the same as the recipe last week, except instead of the Mexican style ingredients, I'm going to do cheddar, broccoli, turkey bacon & chives.
CSA veggies used: broccoli, chives

Creamy Chard Potatoes with Steak and Salad
I made these potatoes last year with our CSA! They're really great & it's a great way to use swiss chard!

I love pasta & I'm excited to try the lemon balm in this way!

10 on Tuesday: 10 Favorite 6 Month Pics

This is completely gratuitous, just me posting pictures of Isis, but my friend Hannah took some pictures of our family yesterday! She is such a great photographer & she is also going to be watching Isis for me in the fall when I start my student teaching. I feel so blessed to have her as a friend on top of the fact that she takes gorgeous pictures of Isis!! I also realized that I didn't put any of the ones where she is smiling in this post. This just means I'll have to post more another time! Get excited! (And this is not a great comment-grabbing post , but who cares? This is for the digital baby book!)

How to Efficiently Read Blogs

Have you ever been just completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there you can read? I have. Wow. So many fabulous people I'm interested in reading about! I love the stories, the humor, the pictures, the tips, the giveaways, the links, I just love it all! So I've found myself having to streamline my blog reading in order to better manage my time & make sure I hit the "must-reads" for me. Here's how I've done it: First of all, if you leave a comment on my blog or if you follow my blog, I will go to your blog & at the very least I will follow you on Google Friend Connect .

I always look over the new posts that are there when I log in each day, but if you've looked at my Google Friend Connect page lately, you'll see that I follow a lot of people's blogs! So I had to come up with a more specific approach in addition to the blogger dashboard. This is where my Goog

5 Blogging Pet Peeves

Blogging pet peeves are obviously going to be different depending on the blogger or blog reader. I am not an expert, but I have been blogging for more than 3 years between this blog & my other one. So I've seen a lot of blogs & read a lot of tips. Here are 5 things from my perspective that will really help you as a blogger &  me as a reader. 1. Offer a full RSS feed Oh my goodness this gets on my nerves!! I don't know if people think that offering a partial feed will get people to click on their page more or something? But really all it does it gets most people from what I've seen to NOT subscribe or visit your blog at all. There are maybe 2 bloggers that I subscribe to their feed even if they don't offer a full feed & that's only because they email & converse with me regularly & in some way make up for the fact that I can't see their feed in my reader. So just offer a full feed.  There is some debate about the issue, but in every debate
