First Harvest

Our trek out to DeLano farms this week yielded a small harvest, but one that ultimately turned into a delicious breakfast for 3 hungry girls. Although it took some work getting Alme and I out of bed in time to cook breakfast before work, we managed and it was a success (though probably not one that we'll get in the habit of repeating, thanks to our snooze buttons). Maybe Kristin should think about being the official breakfast chef around here since she's up anyway...just a thought, KP. 
 
So, here are the details of our breakfast  extravaganza. 

Our fresh from the farm ingredients for the week:
Spring onions
Marjoram
Spinach
French breakfast radishes

We mixed 4 eggs, some milk, salt, and pepper. Then, added in the onions, marjoram, and spinach, mixed it all together, and cooked it up into an enticing omelette. We decided to go without cheese so we could taste the flavors of our farm fresh ingredients and in the end, we didn't even miss it. The radishes made the perfect garnish, skillfully crafted by the lovely Kristin Porter. As it turns out, she's also the only one of us that will eat plain radishes. They're too bitter for me, especially in the morning!

It tasted as good as it looks

Hopefully next week we'll have even more fresh produce thanks to all this sunny weather we've been having. I think this is the first time in my life I've connected the weather with my menu planning for the week, but I don't hate it.
