I personally hate the tops of swiss chard But, take the stems, parboil them for about 3-5 minutes. Drain and run cold water over them. Put them in an oven-proof dish, pour a bit of melted butter and some shredded Parmesan on them and broil until the Parmesan melts. Enjoy!

I am really jealous of that loot! YUM! For the dry mandarins, I would make a fruit salad with some juicier fruits along with the zest, juice and fruit of some of the mandarins. Or you could roast the beats with the mandarin zest and juice too. Those leeks would be really good in that potato gratin you did a while back. HMMM can I come over for dinner?

Do you have a mandolin? A shaved raw beet salad with slivers of orange would be delicious. I’d add avocado and maybe pistachios? A mustard vinaigrette would go well.

Oh, and cook those alien finger beet greens, honey. Don’t let them go to waste.

Alisa,

This is a great recipe for to use your Swiss Chard. I love it. I omit the parm because of dairy issues and I replace the flour with splet.

For your beets, have you ever made Borcht? (not sure on the spelling) My mom and grandma made it all the time when I was growing up and now I make it. I can share that recipe with you too but i will have to write it up. Let me know.

Your goodies look great! And yes, Meghan is indeed a cutie! I’m doing the Low Glycemic, too.

Re: Justin’s, I tried one of those “single-serve” packs when in Florida (just the plain, not flavored). It was really good–but then again, with my dietary restrictions, just finding some all-natural almond butter made me ecstatic!

OMG seeing your CSA box reminds me of our 5 glorious yrs of our CSA share in san diego and that the leeks would stench up the fridge unless i triple baggied them

beets. Roast with EVOO or coconut oil til tender and enjoy. That’s how I love them. So simple but so good. Cut in dice sized wedges chunks. Dash of ginger or S & P too. Basic but perfect.

Leeks donate them to someone who enjoys being stinky, that’s what i always did you know i hate garlic and onions!
