Friday's Drawers - A come back

Fresh food and a fresh start.

It's Friday! And another edition of Friday's Drawers, one that I am actually posting. *gasp*

And I can report that not only has this share been pic'd and posted, many of the items have been prepared too.  *double gasp*

What did we do?

• Veggie, chard noodle soup with homemade chicken broth, (See the broth in the background) celery, carrots, and some of the chard at the end.  
• Roasted beets tossed with olive oil in a 400 degree oven until tender (about 45min-1hour)
• Tuna sandwich with crunchy celery for dinner.
• Snacked on pears too! yum!

What will I do with the rest?

• I have some kale in our garden so I am thinking I'll do this potato kale recipe or adapt it.
• I love eggs with chard and a little salsa or ketchup, yes I know, but I like them that way.
• I think I have some carrots left, so I'll attempt a slaw with that cabbage. In the mean time, I've been digging this purple cabbage recipe from last week's share.
