As the amount of food we harvest continues to grow, I try to come up with new recipes so that my boys don't get tired of eating the same ole same ole. Today I harvested an over abundance of spinach, so here is the recipe for today. It's very similar to a quiche.

Spinach Sausage Pie
5 eggs
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp spicy brown mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp chili powder
10 oz fresh (or frozen) spinach
1/2 lb breakfast sausage browned and well crumbled
1 9in unbaked pie shell

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a blender combine spinach milk and eggs. Pour into large bowl and add 1 cup cheddar, onion, sausage,salt, mustard and chili powder. Stir to combine well. Pour into pie shell and bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until knife inserted between center and edge comes out clean.

Here's a tasty and very easy chicken salad recipe from last week:
3 baked boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 stalks celery
1 apple peeled and cored
1 medium onion
1 cup pecans
ranch dressing
salt and pepper to taste
Combine chicken, celery, onion, apple and pecans in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Add enough ranch dressing to get the chicken salad to the texture you like. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve on wheat bread.
