Bread & Butter Pickles

Got these in my CSA bag today and made them tonight!  Didn't have dill to make dill pickles, but did have the ingredients for Bread & Butter Pickles thanks, once again, to Deb at SmittenKitchen.  Seem good, although I'll know better tomorrow.

Just cute...

Braised Leek, Garlic Scape, and Camembert Pizza

What to do with Garlic Scapes?  Use them like scallions, I've read.  I had some leeks and camembert as well so pizza it is.  Made this a few nights ago after the kids went to bed before a dough I had went bad.  So delicious.  First, I sauteed the leeks in olive oil and butter and then braised them in chicken broth for a good 20 minutes.  Then, I assembled the pizza with pesto on the bottom, some mozzarella, the leeks, some camembert slices and sprinkled the top with chopped scapes and parmesean.  Bake for 10 minutes and TA-DA!  Delicious pizza for snacking while setting up my 20+ series passes on my new Verizon Fios system installed that day!  Good thing I wrote them down before we unplugged the old DVR.  Goodbye, TiVO.  I have loved you and will miss you.

Rhubarb Compote

What to do with 2 lbs of Rhubarb?  Well, you could make a pie or some strawberry rhubarb jam.  Or, you could chop it all up, throw it in a pot with some water and sugar and cook it down into a sauce.  And, then dip everything in it including the below pork chop.  Came out yummy and was lovely with the braised baby bok choy I had leftover from last week's CSA bag.  Which is good b/c I didn't make it in time to pick up this week's bag.  V. Annoying.
