Each day brings new joys and surprises.
At least until the December 21 Winter Solstice and Full Moon Eclipse I am not eating meat or eggs. This has brought new challenges and adventures in recipes and nutrition. Yesterday I made collard greens in order to satisfy my husbands desire for beans, greens and cornbread; they also provided another source of iron for our diet. I find most collard greens too bitter for my taste and I don't usually eat them, but because there would be no bacon in the collards I used the Lee Brothers' recipe for Sneaky Collards. I did add chipotle powder in with the hot Hungarian pepper; other than that I followed their recipe and they were good!
Today I took the leftover collards, sprinkled on curry powder and made quesadillas with Cabot's sharp cheddar cheese. What a joyous food surprise!
