Squash Frittata from The Lake House

                                                               Yellow Zucchini  Squash

We are invited to a friend's house tonight for a wine tasting and of course, we said we'd bring veggies.  Now, I have brought squash fritters a couple of times so thought I'd make something new.  Do you ever do that?  Make a recipe that you've never made before to take to a party?  Yep, I do it all the time.

After searching the internet, I decided on the squash frittata recipe from The Lake House, mainly because I had some prosciutto in the fridge and it sounded good. 

Didn't have a pic of green zucchini which I used hence the pic of the yellow.   Will report back on how it tasted.

Vegetable Pictures - Summer in Sandy Valley

 

 

With the higher temperatures, the vegetables have started to increase in size and production.   Our squashes are starting produce - zephyr, green zucchini, yellow zucchini are performing well.  A little behind in production are patty pans and 8 ball but they should catch up with the others soon.  The squash bugs are also out in force so that's another challenge.  

 

We have our very first cauliflower - orange too!   And our beets are becoming rotund.

 

Nothing could be finer.

Bee Awareness Day - The Springs Preserve- Saturday June 22

Bee Awareness Day

Join the Springs Preserve and Whole Foods Market for a special lecture and film screening to raise awareness and understanding of honey bees.
We'll start the buzz with a presentation by a bee expert, followed by a screening of the kid-friendly film "Vanishing Bees" and conclude with a question-and-answer session afterward. Guests will enjoy a honey sample from Whole Foods Market.
Honey bees are the most abundant pollinators of flowering plants and are responsible for one out of every three bites of food we eat. Despite this, U.S. honey bee colonies are declining at a rate of 30 percent or more. Join us to learn how intricately linked humans are to bees and how you can help "bee" a part of the solution!

Collard Green Enchiladas Recipe from Going Home To Roost

 

 

We are growing some awesome collard greens at the farm.  The variety that we've grown for the last 3 years is called "Flash" and it is a vates type  hybrid variety.  It has a smoother leaf and slow to bolt which is beneficial to us in the high desert. 

 

I was on the Etsy website listening to an on-line forum with Bonnie Forkner who writes Going Home To Roost blog.  While listening,  I looked at her website and found this recipe.  It must have been kismet.

 

It sounds so yummy and it is sooo good for you.  Give it a try on a meatless Monday, or Tuesday or Wednesday . . . . . whenever.

I'm going to make it for a company picnic at the farm.
