A few weeks ago we planted our vegetable and herb garden! Woohoo! Last year was my first year being an urban gardener-or a gardener of any sort, other than houseplants (which saw better days before the Little Miss came along). So last year was definitely a learning experience in many ways. As much as Eliana and I tried to care for our little urban farm, most of our vegetables didn’t grow. Boo! But, despite our failure, I resolved to try again. I want to grow some vegetables and herbs for a few reasons: I want to be able use

I like to make them all year round using either fresh, seasonal fruit or frozen fruit when it isn’t

Typically, when planning a meal my goal is to include what I consider to be the perfect trifecta of a balanced meal: protein, produce and starch. A strata is a savory cross between bread pudding and a frittata that combines all three, and is cooked using just one pot (baking dish). It has protein from the eggs and cheese, starch from the bread, and vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidant goodness from the vegetables. A strata is a great dish to bring to a potluck or to serve at a get together, and you can freeze the leftovers to have a delicious and hearty meal
