im jealous! Venison is a big part of our diet but we're out already with the exception of a couple steaks.

I hope to try that sometime. I wonder if I can find any here in this urban jungle?

Sounds yummy! As a gardener, I agree - fresh is BEST!

Speaking of which, I'm making a veggie soup with tons of fresh veggies (celery, carrot, turnip, broccoli, cauliflower, zukes, etc) and adding in some leftover chicken and rice from a previous meal.

I'm taking the easy way out tonight. I took out a couple of cans of chicken noodle soup, added canned chicken, two cups of broth, a handfull of leftover snowpeas and some fresh parsley.
I just had a craving for chicken broth. I've been out in the sun all day for a few days and it is catching up with me.
Also taking care of 18 chicks, on teeny tiny momma hen (she has three of the banty chicks) and two bottle baby kittens keeps me on my toes.
On sunday we went to a potluck and I made a swiss chard frittata that was a big hit.
It was real easy and everything except the dairy products came from our farm. I got the idea from a recipe on LocalHarvest.org for Easy Greens Bake.
Here's the recipe, if anyone is interested.
6 eggs, beaten,
1 large bunch swiss chard chopped up into about 1" pieces
2 onions from the garden with the greens attached, our onions are not really ready to pick, but I'd rather use them than buy one at the store. You could probably substitute a bunch of green onions. Chopped up quite small.
3 pimento peppers (or use 1/2 a red pepper) diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 c milk
1 1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
5 or 6 slices cheddar cheese
pepper
salt
olive oil.
Cook swiss chard until wilted, drain removing as much water as possible.
Saute onions, peppers and garlic in olive oil until onions are just translucent.
Mix all ingredients except sliced cheese in a bowl.

Grease a 9 x 12 casserole. Pour egg mixture into casserole, making sure it gets into the corners. Put sliced cheese on top.
Bake for 25-25 minutes, until set in center. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
I made it a day ahead and cut it into small pieces. Even the little kids liked it.

FarmerDenise that sounds yummy!
I grew a ton of chard last year, still some in the freezer.
Guess what I'm gonna do with it

I have fresh chard in the backyard garden, now... may have to "borrow" some from my reptile "kids"

Thanks for sharing that recipe!

 

[ams3651]

I think its sausage gravy, biscuits, mashed potatoes and corn. Tomorrow will probably be venison, my dad found some burger in the freezer

I'm just a bit north of you, Aneesa's Muse. My chard is bolting, so it's time to plant a fresh batch. The chicks will be getting the old stuff. That should be fun to watch.
I'll make minestrone soup with some of this last bit though.

I don't know what we're having for supper tonight. SO is cooking. I guess it'll involve ground beef, since it is sitting out to thaw.
I'll make a salad to go with whatever he is making (fresh from the garden,) that way I know I'll get my vegies in.

I will make a fresh batch of Thousand Island dressing to go with it.
We've been having apples or oranges for desert. I really should make a blackberry pie, I have tons of frozen blackberries from last summer.

My friend's chard is bolting as well.

She was going to bring me some to go with the fish I hoped to prepare later this week. Darn!

Being Wednesday . . .

. . . . . We had old fashioned oats with sauteed cinnamon apples.
