Spinach Cheesy Mac and Cheese


The kids(and Dan)loved this lunch I called, "Spinach Cheesy Mac and Cheese"

Whole wheat Pasta
Grated Cheese - 1 to 2 cups of what ever you like. I used cheddar and mozzzarella
1 pound of washed raw spinach ground in a food processor and mixed into the mixture of cooked pasta, 1 tablespoon of butter, cheese and a splash of milk.

Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble



Found a great recipe on Smitten Kitchen I used corn starch instead of flour - and I cooked the rhubarb for a few minutes on the stove in lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar before adding to the baking dish.

Got the rhubarb from the farm today!

Lunch after the first harvest



Raw salad wrap. asparagus, radish, arugula, chives, spinach with a classic mustard vinagrette and an aged Gouda.

I do this a lot. I put any vegetable I am craving and have around into the food attachment with the grater attachment. I then add a nice cheese and a vinagrette and wrap it in these amazing wraps I found called Mountain Bread which are from Australia.

Garlic Scapes - If you can get some of these, buy as many as you can. Take them and put as many in your food processor and then freeze in golf ball size balls. Use instead of garlic in recipes where you would sauté garlic.
