Smoked Salmon Leek Frittata

Frittata are some of the easiest thing to make. It’s basically like if an omelette and a quiche had a perfect eggy baby - unlike an omelette you don’t have to flip it, and unlike a quiche you don’t have to worry about making a crust. Hooray for a low-maintenance dish you can whip up minimal ingredients and zero fuss!

I really love this healthy, smoked salmon frittata recipe. It’s one of my go-to dishes for dinner or brunch - plus you get tons of leftovers. It's naturally gluten-free and paleo-friendly. It can also be easily modified for Whole30 or dairy-free preferences.

Green Garlic Soup

Springtime means it’s green garlic season! If you’ve never worked with green garlic, you are in for a treat!

Green garlic is just regular hardneck garlic that you are used to seeing - the only difference is that the ‘green’ version is harvested in the springtime while the leaves are still green and before the bulb is fully formed. Basically, it’s baby garlic!

You can use green garlic anywhere you’d use regular garlic, but it especially shines in soups and salads, where the freshness and subtleties of the flavor can take center stage.

When some green garlic showed up in my CSA produce box this week, I was delighted and decided to combine it with asparagus and tender baby potatoes into a gorgeous green springtime soup!

You don’t need any special equipment to make this recipe - just an oven and a blender. So grab some green garlic next time you see it, and whip up some delicious green soup!
