Rainbow Chard Bright Lights

This Chard is so pretty, I even forgot that I still might believe I don't like Chard. It's just a left over dislike from back when I was sure Brussel Sprouts and Zucchini were going to kill me.
Cooked with cheese it was just fine. After all, cheese fixes everything
BAKED CHEESY CHARD AND OR SPINACH

What You Need:
1 1/4 pounds spinach AND/OR chard (this is a recipe where you can easily use only chard, in place of spinach.)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart baking dish.
2 Clean greens thoroughly. Remove all excess water. Chop. Arrange greens and flour in layers, nestle beaten eggs about midway between the layers.
3 Combine cheese and bread crumbs. Mix in optional parsley, if desired. Sprinkle over top of greens. Mix butter or margarine, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over all ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 50 minutes to one hour.

Grampy doesn't live here anymore but it was his birthday so I made apple crisp to celebrate his 89th birthday anyway.

Now I'm ready to get started.


I like cinnamon but not too much of it.

I'm out of brown sugar So I made my own brown sugar with molasses and white sugar.

It looks about like brown sugar now.


Ready for the oven.

Let it cool a bit before eating.

Top with maple syrup whipped cream and serve.

Happy Birthday Grampy!

 I tried really hard to remember what was in the mozzarella tomato salad I had One time at EarthFare. I really can't remember. I just know it was good and it was around supper time and the fresh mozzarella in there was soo good.
I didn't have any FRESH mozzarella so I got out Polly-O. I do have a recipe for fresh mozzarella but I haven't felt bold enough to try it yet.
  I went out for basil but I got a little distracted with the Cosmose.

 They were begging me to take pictures of them

So I did.
Then I did go inside and wash the basil

 I'm really not good at taking photos with my left hand, the buttons are all in the wrong places.

I cut up the tomatoes and





 I tried to think of what else might've been in the salad.
 I kind of thought there was garlic but I can't be sure

 So I compromised with garlic powder and some herb salt to taste.

 Then I served myself to see if I liked it. I did.

So I had some more.
It apparently isn't all that manly of a salad because none of the guys went for it.
Can't please everyone.

Ingredients

• 1 or 2 or a bunch of cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 Mozzarella

I don't officially like chocolate I also don't dislike it either. But I liked these quite well.


I don't like to mix dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls. Something about dishes.
