Welcome to Margie's Musings
Welcome to my BLOG! I write about whatever I want, mostly food and random stories I'm trying to write. I hope you enjoy it. In loving kindness....
After I discovered baked eggs, I started preparing them more often and with different bases. Here is a version using kale and Mexican spices. I put a bit of lime in it because I like citrus with kale. Leave it out if you don't have it or try lemon instead. For the kale, I place the washed and trimmed leaves in a bowl and microwave for about 1 to 2 minutes. I squeeze out the liquid and then chop the kale roughly. Any I don't use in the recipe I set aside for another use, such as topping on soup or an addition to salad or a bowl. I hope you enjoy this version of baked eggs.
I started getting Full Belly again. They agreed on a trial basis to delivery to my house. So wonderful. If you have it available where you live--getting veggies delivered from an organic farm is so amazing. It gives me a chance to eat seasonally and use my creative cooking skills. This past week it was plenty of greens, including kale. This recipe is a really nice way to use preserved lemon and kale. Plus it is a one pan meal. I love those. The chicken, lemon and almonds really balance out the robust flavor of kale. This is a recipe I definitely want to incorporate into my monthly rotation. Recipe adapted from one by Donna Hay.
Nugget grocery store (not the casino) had freshly wild caught petrale sole. It looked good. Petrale sole is firm with a mild taste, not mushy like regular sole. I wanted to bake it in parchment paper. I find cooking fish in the house even with my fan going full blast tends to leave an odor in the air. Baking it in parchment really limits the smell, plus it tastes divine. Hubby is not fond of fish. So I, sometimes, cook mild flavored fish and make a sauce.
After I write my blog for today - I plan to cook dinner. I have interesting things to prepare. About 2 years ago, I signed up for boxes of produce from the Full Belly Farm http://www.fullbellyfarm.com/. Every week except for a couple weeks in December, I have Craig go pick up a box of produce at a site in downtown Sacramento. The box contains whatever is in season. You can find out a day or so in advance what is going to be in the box, but I rarely do that - preferring instead to be surprised.
