Enjoy you week and see you next Saturday,

IMG_1801I bought a ham last week while purchasing our turkey for Thanksgiving, thinking this year I might have multiple choices for dinner.  However, the same night I brought it home Kenny asked if he could open it.  Well, I guess you can figure out… no ham for Thanksgiving dinner!  I now have the task of creating something to do with ham leftovers three days before Thanksgiving.

So breakfast this morning… Quiche.  This was so delicious, you should try this with your Thanksgiving leftover ham. If having guest for the week it makes a wonderful all in one breakfast meal.  Served with Kenny’s home grown tomatoes, perfect!

Kenny and I wish each of you a safe and happy Thanksgiving with your family and friends.

 

1 9″ pie pastry

1 cup half and half

4 eggs, beaten

3 Tbsp. honey mustard

2 Tbsp. flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

1/8 tsp. white pepper

1-1/2 cups cubed, cooked ham

1-1/2 cups shredded Swiss or Havarti cheese

1-1/2 cup fresh chopped spinach

2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

 

In medium bowl, mix half and half, eggs, mustard, flour, salt, thyme, and pepper and beat until combined.

Layer ham, Swiss cheese, and spinach in prepared pie crust. Pour egg mixture into pie crust and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

IMG_1633Thanks everyone for a wonderful season it’s been incredible.  We appreciate all of the support, and cherish each relationship that was developed this season.

We have decide not to participate in this year’s winter market, but still plan on providing you with fresh lettuces, spinach, kale, Swiss chard and EGGS.  Our lettuces are still a couple weeks away from being ready to cut, and we have just begun cutting spinach. We will still have sweet potatoes, some winter squashes and some potatoes available.

I will be making deliveries a couple time a month downtown and will keep you informed via e-mail of days, times and produce available. However, this week I will be doing an “egg drop” only.   If you need eggs, just let me know and I will meet you under the pavilion from 11-11:45 this Saturday.

Thanks for your patronage,

Val & Kenny

Fall/Winter Squash

Fall/Winter Squash

Saturday will be our final day for this year’s New Albany Farmer’s Market. Kenny has done a great job keeping the fresh veggies coming and it’s looking like the freeze won’t be here until Friday morning; so he is very busy cleaning up the gardens this week.  We will have green beans, eggplants, bell peppers, a rather large variety of mild and hot peppers, zucchini, sweet potatoes, red potatoes and onions. We will also have loads of fall/winter squashes available… spaghetti, acorn, butternut, etc.  Tomatoes are still hanging in there, we should have plenty on Saturday… including tons of green ones.

There is some good news… plenty of veggies really like the cold weather.  We will have plenty of greens:  Swiss chard, kale, spinach and mustard… lots of turnips, cabbage and maybe a few beets and kohlrabi. Daikon and watermelon radishes will be in abundance again this week.

We still have apples… Golden Delicious and a few Stayman Winesap will also be available this week. Both of these are great for cooking, eating and apple butter making.

Don’t forget to pick up your farm-fresh, free-range eggs at the market. Just a reminder that we have been selling out early each week… so come early or pre-order to make sure you get the items you need.

“Basket of the Week” customers ~ please remember to bring back your baskets and make sure to e-mail me a reminder to ensure your basket order… val@russellveggies.com
