I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. Our family enjoyed a hike at one of my favorite places: Natural Bridge in Slade, KY and got some extra rest. We hope you all had some time to unwind, too!
I feel like, right on cue, the weather has transitioned to summer - and it seems our shares have, too.

One of the favorite swiss chard recipes from the past:
Also, chard stalk hummus
And, garlic scapes! You can use them like garlic or green onions or a number of ways... Amanda provided a wonderful primer last year.
I may be trying out some of these recipes myself. I have yet to actually try the swiss chard gratin recipe. I'll let you know how things go this week.
Please keep sharing your recipes, tips and tricks! And pictures...
