Over the past few months, I have really developed a taste for leafy greens - things like kale, bok choy, mustard greens, chard, spinach, etc. I honestly like the taste and its so easy to make as a side dish. Almost all can be tossed into a pan with some olive oil and S&P and have a great and good for you side in minutes.

If you want to make the side into a main entree - just add a lean meat.

I am always trying to find a way to add more veggies into our world and I am striving to have more "meatless days". One of my favorite things to make is mushroom saute with garlic and onions. With all the local food we can get at our market - its makes for a tasty meal.

The big winner of the week was from Aunt Nita's booth and made by Miss Addie herself. It was some sort of spinach souffle that had a mix of peppers and cheese mixed it. We baked it till it was bubbling hot and golden brown. So incredibly good - we were able to share it with our friend John and still eat it with 2 meals! Way to go Addie!!

We also got to ring in the New Year with Aunt Nita's homemade bloody Mary mix - that and our local vodka - TITOS! Read what all is one that label - this was not your typical drink. SO GOOD! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
