WZ and me&, you could run some through the shredding blade of a food processor for them.....?

 

[Wifezilla]

Yeah, that works. I do that with extra zucchini. Shred it, freeze it, then throw it in a bucket of hot water for them on cold days. They love their zucchini soup

We finally got something from FIL that we really wanted and can use!!!

A FREEZER!!!!

It arrived this morning!!!

Woo hoo! Is it a frostless or the type you need to defrost? I like the type I need to defrost once a year. Unless of course, the door gets accidently propped open over night or longer.....

Harvested loads (literally my entire backseat) of enormous Swiss chard from a friend's garden. It was enough to put a nice bunch in each of 10 CSA shares distributed this afternoon, plus I have a mound on my deck. I will chop it up, stir-fry with garlic and onion and freeze for quiches all winter. Yay!

I had no idea I could do that. I have been getting tons of chard, but feeding it to my rabbits.

I don't know. I've been too busy all day to read the pamphlet that came with it.

I think I posted the recipe about 70 times on this site It is so yummy, has ingredients we all have, and is super nutritious. Look up "Swiss chard quiche" or "Swiss chard pie," and enjoy!!

Yes, I freeze the greens, garlic and onions, then add the eggs, milk and cheese later. It's mainly a volume-storage room issue. I also freeze piles on cookie sheets, then dump into freezer bags. It's nice for adding a handful or 2 to soups all winter. Kale is also awesome for that.
