Dear Friends,
Did you know there are over 1200 species of onion varieties in the Allium family? Personally, I can’t imagine cooking without them. This week we are sending our sweet bulb onions (to regular size), freshly picked scallions and garlic chives for all. The scallions (green onions) are mild and delicious chopped in salads or lightly sauted as a side dish. For the garlic chives (they have a distinct garlic flavor), we’re going to bake potatoes, indulge in some good butter and sour cream and relish!
Another favorite of ours is good ole fashioned Swiss chard, packed with vitamins and minerals. We’re supposed to have a cooked ‘green’ everyday for optimal diets and chard is so friendly to use. Don’t forget to include the stems too. They’re actually very good.
