Chard + Zucchini + Yellow Squash - Very pretty

All baked up, not as pretty, but very yummy

Swiss Chard + onion

Last night I made a baked Swiss chard + zucchini + yellow squash all together with some olive oil, garlic and cheese.  I baked the stems of the Swiss chard, zucchini and yellow squash together for about 20 min before I took it out of the oven, put some cheese over the top of that, then topped it with the greens from the chard and drizzled that with olive oil.  I think it was quite good.  Derrick liked it too.  It's my first time cooking Swiss chard.  I never would have bought it but I signed up for a local veg bag through work.  I spent $5 and they gave me a HUGE bag of veg that was grown locally.  I'm glad I did it because I think I'll be planting Swiss chard next year.  The flavor of the greens were amazing.  I really liked them.










We also had our first FULLY grown corn from the garden.  I know I am bias (of course) but I think it is the best corn I have ever eaten.  Ever.  I simply loved it!

To round out the meal I made a weight watchers recipe (one of my favorites) for chicken cordon blu.  I take a chicken breast, flatten it out, use a laughing cow wedge, and a few slices of Canadian bacon, but I had picked a few jalapenos from my garden so I diced some of those up as well and added them to the chicken roll.  It was a nice kick and it added a new flavor that I really enjoyed.


Anyway, it was a great meal and I am really excited that most of it came from my garden.
