Beautiful Vegetables Make Beautiful Food

For shabbat Elisheva and I cooked dinner from vegetables in the garden. We made roasted carrots, roasted zucchini, and stuffed chard. The stuffed chard was all Elisheva, and it was something I would never even think to make, but was so incredibly delicious. She stuffed the chard with quinoa, chickpeas, ground beef (Fiji was his name), and spices. The rolls were put in a pan, chicken stock was poured over it, and then it was baked. Near the end she added avgolemono, a Greek egg-lemon sauce. It was outstanding and creative.

While prepping the carrots, I noticed how they were so incredibly beautiful and had to take pictures:






There were also some funny shaped carrots with "legs,"


and Elisheva thought it would be wonderful to build a little "person" out of all the veggies from the garden (and an egg).. So cute!

"oh me? i'm just chillin.."

The stuffed chard came out looking fabulous, here it is with challah in the background. I don't have a picture of it baked, but it looks almost the same, just darker and cooked (obviously). 


Delicious and nutritious!
