Surf Camp Frittate: Spinach-Chard and Zucchini-Carrot

This week the boys have been at the beach for surf camp. Not sure if they are actually surfing...the water has been pretty flat and glassy. I've heard a lot about skim-boarding, splashing around, and one of their teachers' dogs. But they've been there, getting sand between their toes and salt water up their noses, so it's all good.

Can you spot my boys?!?

On this last day, they are joining forces with the girls' tribe (yes, that's what they call it) for an end-of-the-week potluck and smoothie party. Fun! With our last name, we were assigned "protein." So, I whipped up two frittate to share.

1 C chard, chiffonaded and blanched
2 C spinach, chiffonaded and blanched
freshly ground sea salt
freshly ground pepper
8 eggs
splash of milk
1/2 C crumbled feta
1/2 C grated parmesan

Zucchini-Carrot-Gouda Frittata

2 C sliced zucchini
2 C carrots, sliced into coins and blanched
freshly ground sea salt
freshly ground pepper
8 eggs
splash of milk
1/2 C grated pesto gouda

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities.

The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
