Cabbage Pie....tastes better than it sounds, I promise!

One of the great things about joining the farm share at Red Fire Farm, was finding all sorts of recipes on their website.  We had a few heads of cabbage and we decided to give the cabbage pie recipe a try (by "we," I mean my husband Scott made it).  Grant really liked it, but I had to chop his cabbage fairly small.  For more recipes, visit www.redfirefarm.com


1/2 cabbage (doesn't matter what color)
1/2 onion
1/2 -3/4 cup fresh dill (not dried)
3 hard boiled eggs
1/4 cup feta cheese
2 Tbs olive oil/ butter 

Other veggies if you like:
carrots
mushrooms
summer squash
Prepare a pie crust (top & bottom) from your favorite recipe or storebought and set aside.

Chop onion into thumbnail size squares and begin to sauté in olive oil or butter. While that is sautéing chop cabbage into ribbons (1/4" to 1/2" width) and toss in after onions. Stir around and cover while you chop the carrots into bite size pieces. Toss carrots in and give another good stir. Chop dill rather finely and add to sautéed mixture in pan. Sauté until everything is lightly cooked (it’ll get cooked again).
Transfer to a bowl where you add the feta and mix well. Cut hard boiled eggs into cubes or into slices, however you prefer. 

Add half of sauté/ feta mixture into pie crust, then add the egg as a middle layer, then add the rest of the sauté mixture. 

Roll on the pie crust top, cut slits for steam vents and put in oven at 375˚ for 45 min to an hour. Remove when pie crust is a nice brown.
Serves 4

Broccoli & Cheddar Nuggets

Home-cooking and blogging has been a little dry over the past few weeks, as Grant was sick = no sleep for momma and daddy.  Here is a recipe that is an alternative to chicken nuggets.  They even taste good for the grown ups.  This recipe freezes well, so you can store them in a single layer in a freezer bag, and lay flat to freeze.  I just pull out 2 as needed to pack with Grant's lunch.




Broccoli & Cheddar Nuggets
16 ox frozen broccoli, cooked, drained, and chopped
1 C. seasoned bread crumbs (easy to make you own as well)
1 1/2 C. shredded cheddar cheese
3 eggs

Preheat oven to 375.  Coat baking sheet with olive oil.

Mix ingredients together and shape into nuggets.

Bake 20-25 minutes, turning them over once after 15 minutes of baking.
