Swiss Chard Ribs with Egg Noodles in Cream sauce

My mother is pretty awesome.  The kids love her, and she loves swiss chard. When she comes by to hang out with the boys so I can get my boring grown-up things done, I can say “thank you” with a heaping helping of Swiss Chard Ribs with Egg Noodles and Cream Sauce, which is her favorite adaptation of this recipe (on Simply Recipes, originally from The Victory Garden Cookbook) .  I opt to leave the leaves in with the stems, adding them to the pasta noodles for a quick blanch during the last few minutes of the boil.  


Zucchini Bread Whoopie Pies

I much prefer the white cream cheese frosting to the overpowering chocolate in this one, but to each his own. These are a fun way to watch your summer zucchini surplus disappear!
