Second CSA Share!

Image
By
This week's CSA share box had tomatoes, lemon cucumbers, pickling & slicing cucumbers, swiss chard, potatoes, cinnamon basil, lemon basil, spicy globe basil, curly & flat parsley & lemon balm. We also got another dozen eggs. Here are my meal plans for this week, although I'm not sure yet which day we will eat each meal...

Tomato pasta with the tomatoes & spicy globe basil
Steak w/ steamed swiss chard cooked w/ onion, garlic & butter & also some potatoes w/ parsley
Chicken w/ cinnamon basil, garlic green beans & some cucumber
Chicken w/ lemon basil, steamed broccoli & cucumber
Salad w/ chicken, sliced cucumber & lemon basil w/ a vinaigrette dressing
Pizza w/ black olives
Beet salad w/ the beets & cabbage left from last week
Eggs w/ turkey bacon

Has anybody cooked with swiss chard before? 
How do you cook it?

yummy! I've found that planning out meals truly helps with grocery shopping and keeping everyone's belly happy.

Hey Cameron,
Cooking swiss chard is just like cooking any other leafy green vegetable (spinach, collard greens, etc.) Here's a blog post I found with some easy step-by-step instructions

Asashia - I have definitely found that it helps with the grocery shopping! We have saved quite a bit already!!

Janine - thanks so much for that link!! I've been kinda clueless about what to do with that, but I don't want anything to go to waste!

10 on Tuesday: 10 Favorite 6 Month Pics

By
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!)

This is technically a 10 on Tuesday , but the idea is from Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop ! 10 of My Worst Pet Peeves 1. People who don't wash their hands - especially after going to the bathroom. Ewwwww 2. The smell of burps - or just being able to smell a burp. 3. People who interrupt when others are talking. 4. Scratching people with my bare fingernails 5. Gristle in chicken 6. When people sing the harmony part with a song on the radio 7. People who are trying to turn in a non-turn lane - or people who wait until the last second to get in the turn lane 8. People who speak excessively loud in normal conversation 9. Picky eaters 10. Drivers who change lanes every 4 seconds What are your 10 Pet Peeves? Read more of my 10 on Tuesdays
