So far we have tried out:
-"corn pudding" to use up our frozen sweet corn. We've been feeding the extra corn to the chickens and they LOVE it.
-enchiladas with cooked greens, Scallions from meg, leftover mushrooms, carrots, frozen corn, freezer chicken fro the fall, and canned salsa... Yummy
- beet and turnip gratin from Annie's website: leforthomestead.blogspot.com
-pasta with frozen pesto (wish we would have started eating down the fridge earlier because we already have greens in the yard that we could be using.
-asparagus from our CSB farmer.... Delicious
-pizza with frozen tomatoes and fresh spinach from Meg
-rice and beans with scallions, fresh greens, and frozen corn
-black bean soup... Surprisingly flavorful
-sautéed greens
To date, we have been able to harvest these foods from our garden and cold frame:
~Lettuce
~Radish
~Kale
Meanwhile we have wild harvested:
*dandelions
*lamb's quarters
*red raspberry leaves (for tea)
*stinging nettle
*chickweed
*violets
We could be eating garlic mustard, purslane, and more... But we have so much good food from the CSA and in the freezer that we haven't gotten around to it.

This is a great post- I can't tell you how many times I have thought- we don't have anything to eat in the house... but really it is just that I don't have anything obvious in the house. With a little creativity like yours I could have been doing some really fun stuff- thanks for the ideas.
