Smells, Scents and Aromas

When we drive by the neighbors’ dairy farms, my kids will often turn up their noses and comment on the smell.  I remind them of my Dad’s saying, “that’s the smell of money” which of course is lost on them.  But for me, those smells are an important touchstone both on the farm and of the “economy” around me.  While our eyes can tell us a lot, its often the other unappreciated senses... [Read more of this post]

    Freezing Scallions

    “Not meatloaf again!” my young son would say. Some of you are saying the same thing about scallions. Ah, but fret ye not. Scallions are a spring time delicacy that can seem too much (like zucchini in August). Instead of dismay, try the freezer. Chop the greens of the scallions into ½ to ¼ inch pieces. Freeze on wax or parchment papered cookie sheets. When frozen, transfer to a freezer bag and back into the freezer they go.


    One of my favorite bakery quiches includes frozen scallions – because within a couple weeks, the scallions will be gone from the fields and your share. But you’ll be set with them in your freezer.


    Canadian Bacon & Scallion Mini Quiches

    • 5 eggs
    • 3 egg whites
    • 1 cup low-fat buttermilk, or low-fat milk
    • 1 bunch scallions, sliced
    • 1 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese
    • 6 ounces Canadian bacon, diced


    Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 12 nonstick (1/2-cup) muffin cups with cooking spray
    Whisk eggs, egg whites and buttermilk (or milk) in a large bowl. Stir in scallions, cheese, bacon and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake until the eggs are cooked and beginning to brown on top, 25 to 28 minutes. Run a knife around edges to loosen the quiches from the cups.


    Meanwhile, whisk lemon juice, oil, mustard and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add salad greens to the bowl; toss to coat with the dressing. To serve, divide the salad among 6 plates and top with tomato wedges and 2 quiches each.
