CSA: Second Week's Subscription Box and More Inspiring Things

 

Happy Monday, My Lovelies!

How was your weekend?  Did you do anything fabulous?  I pretty much stayed home and read a little and blogged a little.

I wanted to share with you my family's favorite recipe from this past week's CSA (community supported agriculture) subscription box from Stone Hollow Farmstand.  The photo above only shows a few of the items, but if you'll look at the top, you can barely see Swiss chard.  That and the delicious eggs inspired my choosing the following recipe:  Frittata, Flattata.  Since we had a few potatoes leftover from week one, this recipe was a perfect match.

So far we've received a dozen eggs in each box.

I found this recipe on All Recipes, but I thought you might enjoy the YouTube video.

What you'll need to make this recipe:

Bacon and Potato Frittata With Greens

6 slices bacon, chopped

1 potato, peeled and sliced into thin 1-inch pieces

2 tablespoons water, or as needed

1 clove garlic, thinly sliced

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

salt and ground black pepper, to taste

1 bunch Swiss chard, chopped

8 eggs, beaten

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Here is the video that shows how to make it.  There are helpful hints in it, and I think it's well done.

My finished frittata.

Here's a hint:  pay close attention to how Chef John stirred the eggs into the mixture.  I think I stirred mine a little too much, so do as he does!

The frittata was delicious!  I cut the leftovers into wedges, and we had it the next two mornings for breakfast.  It reheats well in the microwave.

I absolutely loved the chard in the recipe.  It gives it a nice flavor and complements the bacon and potatoes. 

Below are a few things that are inspiring me:

Last weekend at the lake, we attended an art show and vintage market benefitting Children's Harbor.  Children's Harbor is a beautiful facility on Lake Martin that provides accessible,  state-of-the-art camp facilities at no cost for seriously ill children and their families. 

I purchased this pretty Fiestaware teapot at the sale, and I love the color.  We needed one at the cabin, and this is the perfect size.

I have been inspired lately by blues and greens.  I am also loving beautiful wallpaper I'm seeing online, and this one by Rachel Ashwell is stunning to me.  I am trying to think of a way to use it in our home.  Hmmm....

We are finishing up a little house we've been building, and I'm leaning toward this color for the front door.  The exterios is painted in Benjamin Moore's Swiss Coffee, and this soothing blue-green is called Lush.

I will post my review for Agatha Christie's The Mysterious Affair at Styles on Friday, June 7th.

I'm really looking forward to this hop next week!

My review of a brand-new cozy mystery series set in Scotland will be live on Friday, June 14th.

We'll get our third CSA box tomorrow.  I can't wait to see what we get!

Until next time...

Blessings!
