Garden Ode

10 minutes and I've got some fresh kale in the oven at 350 foiled and oiled laid out on a bed of sliced garden tomatoees. The greens need something with moisture underneath them to help their wilt.

On the edge of the pan, I've mixed a few diced cloves of fresh garlic and a type of yellow round squash that I've never seen before, it isn't of the zucchini or butternut variety.

Baby Alex will eat it all if I can figure out the right ratio of kale to squash to tomato, or if I sneak some fresh mozzarella on it in the last 10 minute of its hour of baking.

If he doesn't eat all of the veggies, I realized he'll eat anything if I blend it a little finer and squeeze some fresh peach or apple pulp on it and mix it with a little baby oatmeal. If he doesn't need the oats to disguise some of vegetables, he'll be eating quinoa with us tonight.

Also, we have some free range shredded chicken that is so tasty I'm going to wait until he's eaten a little of the rest of his dinner to feed it to him.
