Garden Fresh!: Green Onion DILL-iscious Corn Muffins

So I don't know about you all out there, but you ever have that one packaged food item that lingers around the pantry and no matter how many times you think you've used it, another appears to take the last one's place?

My omni-present packaged good: The Jiffy Muffin Mix.

Sometimes blueberry, once in a while chocolate chip, often of the corn muffin variety - ALWAYS there!

How to put this friendly family member to good use?

For this last batch I went garden fresh! Combining my Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix with freshly chopped green onion from our weekly CSA, and freshed picked dill from our backyard garden.

It's simple!

All you need:

• 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
• 1/3 cup milk (I used soy.)
• 1 egg
• 1 stalk of green onion
• 1 generous hand full of dill

Pre-heat the oven at 400 F, mix it all together and pour into your muffin pan. ~15 - 18 minutes later: you've got good eating.
Top with a nice spicy smoked chipolte salsa and a smidgen of greek yogurt- its breakfast, its a dinner side, its dessert.
It's onion-y DILL-iscious!

Garden Fresh!: Garden Breakfast

Did you all see that post a couple of weeks back by The Sea, "Memorial Day Weekend Project Idea: Plastic Planter Pick-Me-Up"?

Well, I am happy to report that after too many weeks on the road, I woke up early enough this morning to finally (!) take advantage of our budding Philadelphian urban garden.

While its still too soon in our backyard for tomatoes, I was able to harvest some fresh arugula, basil, chives, dill and cilantro from our pots. Put it all together with a hard-cooked egg from our first CSA Pick-Up (doused while-cooking in Frank's Red Hot), a nice wheat toast, salt and pepper, and a dallop of greek yogurt, and Viola! Es magnifique!

While a big cup of coffee is synonymous with my cleaning up in the morning, this egg sandwhich is sure to not only get you going, but to keep a smile on your face: all-day-long.
