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!

Parmesan Crusted Kale, Leek and Potato Cakes with Red Quinoa and Meyer Lemon This was my delicious lunch today. These were amazing! They kind of tasted like a healthy  version of tater tots, only better. This is one of those dishes where every bite you go, “Mmmh! Ohmygodisthisgood, mmmpfh” And then you eat it all. I’ve been trying to eat lots of nutritious food in order to be cured from a cold. The Kale in these crispy treats was grown in our back yard garden. I love growing winter vegetables. Rain + Seeds = Free Food. For this dish I combined 3/4 cup leftover mashed potatoes with thinly chopped leeks (white and lightest green parts only, sliced in half first and rinsed to get rid of any sand and dirt, then sliced crosswise) and 2 cups blanched kale, which I rinsed in a mesh strainer then pressed out all the water from. I mixed this with 2 eggs, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/2 tsp dried dill, 1/2 tsp flour, and salt and pepper. I pressed the patties in a ring mold and then dusted them with a combo of bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese before frying in butter & olive oil. I cooked red quinoa on the side, and dressed the whole plate with a giant squeeze of fresh Meyer Lemon juice, also from our back garden. These were so much more tasty than I thought they’d be. Did I mention that this was delicious? Happy New Year Tumblrs! Please have the Best and Most Fun Year ever!

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!!
