Swiss chard, you remain my nemesis. I bailed on the planned dinner for tonight (Swiss Chard & Mushroom Squares) and just made scrambled eggs instead. (A. ate some of his egg without prodding!) I’m thinking about incorporating the swiss chard and mushrooms into the roasted veggies & quinoa I’m making for the first seder so it won’t go to waste.
In the past few days we’ve used up all the soy sauce, ginger, pretzels, pasta, ice cream sandwiches, and ramen. There’s one breakfast worth of waffles in the freezer, and then that will be cleaned out too. I was surprised that we got our weekly challah from school today — we will have to eat it quickly. Tomorrow is our last day of eating chometz in the house before Passover!
Go for the swiss chard and mushrooms in the quinoa!

I am totally getting rid of the Nalgene bottles I have for the kids…which are very recent purchases. Darn. Is it just the transparent rigid plastic?? Is Tupperware still ok, and the Thermos stuff for their lunches? Also, what about the cheap plastic cups we have (not the Ikea ones) and plates and so on. I have to get sorted out on all of this.
Yes, it’s mostly the clear, rigid plastic (usually labeled recycle #7). Most Tupperware is fine. I think most Thermos stuff, too. Thermos has a new line of stainless steel stuff they’re pushing as BPA-free. Basically, you want to have recycle # 1, 2, 4 or 5. Avoid 6 or 7. — Dara
I am cutting up all my magazines and finally doing a recipe binder. I’ve got a couple chard recipes that sound good. Once I’ve got them all sorted out I’ll send to you

Cheesy Kale Crisps: We rarely eat kale now that our farm share is over, and I want to fix that. I've wanted to try using nutritional yeast, and this recipe looks like a tasty way to do it.
