Cooking is fun. Eating is funner. I cook, photograph and write these recipes.
Everything I post on this blog I make from scratch using fresh wholesome ingredients.. I've been cooking since I was a little kid.
My recipes are based on trial and error, along with studying cookbooks, family recipes, blogs and cooking shows.
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!
Today’s Harvest
I harvested these veggies from our garden this morning! Yum. I love not going to the store for fresh veggies! We made salad for lunch with peas, chopped apples, and Thousand Island dressing. It was damn tasty!
The tomatoes are from a half dead cherry tomato plant that kept producing tomatoes all winter! Even when it was in the low 40s at night! The leaves were terribly brown due to cold damage, so I finally took it out and replaced that spot with a trellis for the blackberries to climb on. This bowl is the last harvest from that plant. I’ll definitely grow that variety again! It’s very cold hardy.
I’m going to make chard gratin based on a recipe from Alice Water’s Vegetable Cookbook with the chard, and top it with garlic breadcrumbs.
Thanks for all the hearts and follows everybody. I truly appreciate it!
today begins my first day of being a vegetarian. I’ve always wanted...would be too hard -...
ah i can’t wait until our garden is ready to be harvested!!
The makings of a great lunch!
