Return of the Refrigerator Pie - Chard and 'Shrooms...

It's all about Alton. And his egg pie. Actually, better know as Refrigerator Pie. Seriously, this may be the single easiest/handiest recipe I lean on when entertaining guests or trying to impress people with a substantial breakfast.

You can check out the recipe
here - on this page, he lists out a number of different topping/filling combinations... I've tried both meat and meat-free variations, and all have turned out well - swiss cheese and softer cheese such as provolone seem to work the best. Cheddar is also good if not a little oily. Even goat cheese tastes good with some sun-dried tomatoes and/or spinach, but actually comes out a little bit chalky I have found.

If anybody has any ideas and/or suggestions on how to get that to work, I'd love to hear them.

Mixed Italian-Style Salad w/ White Beans

In order to use up as much of the CSA share as possible, I decided to make a salad of sorts to serve with some grilled chicken breasts I picked up on sale... Pretty much the only thing I added outside of the CSA material was a can of white beans. The additional ingredients were the parsley, basil, diced tomatoes and onions, and the two red peppers that were roasted under the broiler and peeled...

The dressing, as it were, was quite simple - extra virgin olive oil, some sherry vinegar, a bit of minced garlic, sugar, salt and pepper.
