Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Sautee zucchini for 4 minutes and spice with salt and pepper. Whisk 1/2 cup cheese into eggs then mix the chives and zucchini . Grease 9'' round cake pan and pour mixture into pan. Bake on middle rack for 12-15 minutes or until frittata looks firm. The frittata may rise above the edges of your cake pan, but as it cools it will shrink back down and fit into it nicely.

Melt butter with oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in garlic and rosemary. Add stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Add sliced zucchini and cucumbers; simmer until tender about 15 minutes. Working in batches, puree in blender. Season with salt and pepper.
Rewarm soup over medium. Sprinkle with green onions.

Ingredients:
1 bunch (4-5 cups) red Russian kale, stemmed and chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled but left whole
1/4-1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2 tsp salt
Place kale and garlic in a strainer over the sink and pour about 5 cups of boiling water over: this will blanch any bitterness from
the kale and mellow the raw garlic. Toast the pine nuts in a dry
skillet until they are touched with golden brown. Combine small batches of kale, garlic, olive oil, parmesan cheese and pine nuts
in a food processor and pulse well until you have a smooth paste. Stir your batches together and salt to taste. Toss with hot pasta, spread on crackers or bread, or use to top baked potatoes.
