About

Cooking is fun. Eating is funner. I cook, photograph and write these recipes. Everything I post on this blog I make from scratch. I've been cooking since I was a little kid. My recipes are based on trial and error, studying cookbooks, family recipes, blogs and cooking shows. I always start with fresh, healthy ingredients because that's what tastes the best. Some of the veggies and herbs I use are grown in my garden. Yay sustainability! I'm working on making my yard into an edible landscape. It's really fun to go out in the garden and pick your veggies for dinner! Besides cooking, gardening and photography, I also like to sew. Here are some items from my Etsy Shop:

Meyer Lemon and Fennel Pickles

We made these the week before Christmas. I never got a photo of the finished jars, but I thought they looked pretty sweet.

These were really delicious! I thought of these because we have a Meyer Lemon tree in the back yard growing near the fennel plants, which are in pots. I decided to put the two together and see how it would taste.

I turned out to be a very fresh, lemony, slightly anise-y pickle. I tried to keep the ingredients white or light so that the yellow of the Meyer lemons would really stand out.

These jars contain blanched chopped fennel, meyer lemon slices, organic white vinegar, salt, white pepper, fennel seeds and honey. I processed them in a hot water canner for appx 15 minutes. Keeps in the refrigerator for about 1 or 2 months.

Yum!!
