New Year

Okay the New is hear and I am now getting my seed catalogs in the mail. I am all ready dreaming of next years garden. With a cold front on its way in and the weatherman is calling for up to an inch of snow and temperatures staying below 25 degrees for the next few days, what a better way to make it through this cold spell than planning for next summer. If I had to say now what I will plant, its looking like a lot of herbs, some tomatoes (not as many as last year only 3 or 4 plants) some beets, carrots, lettuce, pumpkin, onion, garlic, and the must have potatoes. I am also going to have a smaller garden. I will be putting in native plants (grass land seed) in a big part of the garden. I am going for a nice place to go year round, We'll see if I can pull this off.
Now is a great time to be composting. I have three composers going right now getting compost ready for this spring.
Here is a recipe that I made last night. Believe it or not it is very good and I know I will be having it again.

My version of Chicken Hash

Chicken hash
4 cups potato
4 cups cooked chicken
½ cup Kohlrabi
½ cup onion
¼ teas spoon salt (or less)
¼ tea spoon pepper (or more)
1 tea spoon sage
2 table spoons olive oil

Add one table spoon olive oil in to skillet, turn burner on medium heat.
Cut potato in to small cubes (about ¼ in x ¼ in)
Once the oil is hot put in potato's.
Cut kohlrabi and onion in to small cubes.
Cut precooked chicken in to bite size peaces.
After potato's are soft and browned on the out side add kohlrabi, onion, salt, pepper, sage, and chicken to skillet. Cook tell chicken in warm add 2nd table spoon of olive oil if it is looking like it is drying out.
Once every thing is warmed up serve and enjoy. Adjust heat as not to burn any of the ingredients. Onion should just start to caramelize.
This dish can be served alone, on a bed of lettuce, or with eggs and toast.

Use your summer harvest with this dish.

Till next time Happy healthy cooking
