The first harvest....

Good Monday morning to you!  Was your week-end a good one? 

We have had our first harvest of our planting of fall greens. 

Oops! A little blurry.:-(

This is a mixture of kale and spinach mustard.   We also have lettuce that is about ready for picking.

Our favorite way to prepare the greens is in a pan with garlic that has been sauteed in olive oil until fragrant.  The greens don't need very much water, just a couple of tablespoons or so, then I cover the pan, and let them steam a bit until they are tender.  They will wilt, of course, and cook down.  Sometimes I like to add balsamic vinegar to my serving before I eat them, but usually I just enjoy them without anything added.  Having fresh greens is one thing I remember most about my childhood.

Unfortunately, there are little critters helping themselves to our greens!  This is the first time for that to happen with us.  A frost would surely help, and it wouldn't hurt the greens at all - just discourage those critters.:-)

Are you doing much cooking with pumpkin or apples these days?  Coming up next will be a recipe that uses both!  I hope you will return.

Thank you for reading.  I enjoy your comments.
