Summer Fresh Herb and Feta Frittata

Looking for a quick and light dinner? Last night I made a delicious and simple chard, chives, and feta fritata for me and my husband. I've also used swiss chard and substituted swiss cheese as a variation. If you don't like or have feta, then use any cheese. I also used many of the vegetables that I received from my CSA this week. I've decided that I need to cook or freeze my vegetables right or I run the risk of not having time to make them.

I never know what the week will bring. Many times on the weekend we eat out. Therefore, if I have the fresh produce in the refrigerator, it may end up going bad ( and I don't want that to happen) . Also everything is so fresh the first day.

Swiss chard

Swiss chard sautéed in olive oil 

eggs and chives in skillet

added the Swiss chard and feta                  

The cucumbers and tomatoes were also  from the CSA 

Greens not only contain important vitamins, they also contain chlorophyl which helps the body detoxify. Greens are low calories and are an important part of a healthy diet. Swiss chard cooks very quickly and has a mild taste similar to spinach.

Ingredients: 

2 eggs beaten per person

1/2 cup cooked swiss chard per person 

1 tablespoon of chopped chives per person

1/4 cup of crumble feta cheese per person

1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil 

Pepper to taste ( the feta is salty)

olive oil or olive oil spray

Directions: 

Saute the chard in olive oil until limp. 

Mix eggs with pepper and chives. Add to a skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil on low heat. Allow to cook and begin to cover with sautéed chard, feta and basil. when it begin to firm up, flip the omelet to the other side until done. 

It was a very light dinner and I have to admit that I was a little hungry and not quite satisfied. I ended up eating some nuts as a snack about 1/2 hour after dinner. I should have added some avocado slices to the vegetable plate. My husband ate his with bread, so he was a little more satisfied.  

What did I get from my CSA this week? 

10 pounds of large juicy beefsteak  tomatoes

10 cucumbers

1 head of lettuce

1 bunch of swiss chard

2 onions

2 eggplants

2 yellow squash

a bowl of fresh basil

3 quarts of string beans 

1 pint of cherry tomatoes

2 pounds of cooking tomatoes

a large bouquet of zinnias

1 container of blackberries for an extra $3.00

Do you belong to a CSA ? What did you get this week?

I stopped eating grain after reading these books.
