RECIPES
Southwestern Omelet Muffins
1. You can make a whole bunch on the weekend, save some, and store the rest in the freezer and pop out as needed.
2. They’re loaded with veggies, healthy fat and protein, which is just what your body wants to fuel with first thing in the morning to normalize your blood sugar. This means your energy, mood, and hormones will be stable through the day, and the chances you’ll binge on afternoon sweet, treats, and coffee drops.
3. They are freaking delicious. You can use whatever meat and veggies you have. I even chop up random leftovers and throw them into a muffin tin with eggs sometimes!
4. They are portable which makes them great for lunch boxes and road trips.
Ingredients:
6 ounces breakfast sausage
2 bell peppers, assorted colors, chopped small
1/2 cup green onions, chopped small
3/4 cups kale, chopped small
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves chopped fresh garlic)
4 ounce can green chiles, chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 dozen eggs
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat large skillet on medium high heat. Add sausage and browned. Add peppers and kale and cook to soften, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, beat eggs with remaining ingredients. Add sausage and veggies. Line muffin tins with papers and divide egg mixture among them, filling about 3/4 full. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the center is firm to the touch.
Market News
THIS WEEK
Enjoy some new products from Mimi’s Mountain Home and Good Shepherd Herbals, they also make great Mother’s Day gifts.
Yonah Coffee will be listing soon, watch for them in the next few weeks.
Storage Containers: Last week I sent a request for recyclables, I need to clarify that we’re looking for containers from items you’ve purchased from the Cumming Harvest vendors. Egg Cartons, Glass jars from B&B Honey and Ancient Awakenings, paper bags from My Daily Bread and Ancient Awakenings and the small green berry containers from Cane Creek, Weedy Soil and Hog Mountain and the clear plastic containers from the bakers. I appreciate everyone that brought in items last week even if they weren’t exactly what we were looking for. Recycling is always a good thing!
GREENS: We’re starting to see more greens listed online; lettuce, spinach, arugula, etc. You should always expect to wash your greens before using them. The farmers do a “field wash”, which is quickly swishing them in clean water once or twice to get off most of the dirt, but it is suggested to wash again. Just separate the leaves in a collendar and spray with water in the kitchen sink or fill a bowl with water to swish individual leaves to get the final dirt off. You don’t HAVE to wash, because there isn’t any chemicals, but there may still be a little dirt left after a field wash.
FISH: We’re coming to the end of the Alaskan Salmon, we ran out of Halibut last week. Doug will be moving back to Alaska in the next few weeks and fishing until August when he’ll come back with the fresh catch!
Chicken: We’re out of chicken at the moment, the next availability will be sometime in May.
Questions?: Please feel free to contact the farmers directly, they are available to answer your questions and concerns. If you have questions about the market, I am always available. If you don’t know who to ask, email us both. :)
