This week at The Forest Feast, I needed to use up some chard from the nearby farmer's market, so I cooked up a big skillet Tortilla Espanola. This dish is usually made with just potatoes and onions, but I like to add some greens — it becomes almost like a crustless quiche.

This recipe is inspired by a naked burrito which is essentially a deconstructed burrito with paleo friendly substitutes like sweet potato instead of rice and beans.
It's Passover and Easter this week, so I can't not give you a lamb recipe. Here's a really easy one. I took the concept of Marge Piercy's Cinnamon Lamb in her book, Pesach for the Rest of Us, and applied it to a stew since lamb stew meat is what I had on hand last night, along with two hungry men and a culinarily curious toddler for dinner.
