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!

Campbell’s soup, the largest soup company in the world, are releasing a limited edition Andy Warhol inspired soup cans, to celebrate their 50th anniversary of the famous piece of artwork.
As Adweek notes, “The cans, produced with the approval of (and a license from) The Andy Warhol Foundation, will be sold exclusively at Target, for 75 cents each, starting Sept. 2. Campbell’s is also sponsoring Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years, an upcoming exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.”
I’m going to buy one, or four of these. Not sure if I will open or eat it.
Reblogging this because Spread the Word. In my opinion, too far Monsanto! You’re greedy, you’re trying to take too much. No way. No. Go eat your own GMO’s.
Monsanto is using its money and influence to push Congress to attach a rider to the 2013 Agriculture Appropriations bill that would effectively end judicial review of approvals of new genetically engineered crops.
If this rider (Sec. 733) isn’t removed, organic and non-GMO farmers will lose their access to the court system and they’ll have no recourse when the U.S. Department of Agriculture illegally approves new genetically engineered crops that threaten to contaminate their fields and seed supplies.
Monsanto’s sneak attack is a response to successful lawsuits brought by the Center for Food Safety on behalf of organic and non-GMO farmers and seed growers that have attempted to block planting of genetically engineered sugar beets and alfalfa while the USDA conducted a court-ordered review of the dangers of contamination.
A vote to remove Monsanto’s rider from the Agriculture Appropriations bill was expected this week, but now has been delayed until after Congress returns from their July 4th recess. Let’s use this time to spread the word and send tens of thousands of letters to Congress!
Fuck. Monsanto.
We grew potatoes!
This was my harvest yesterday morning from the the front yard garden. This is my first time growing potatoes and I’ll tell you (in the geekiest way possible) how much fun it was to dig around in the dirt and find all of these potatoes.
I planted these in mid January from sprouted organic russet potatoes. I decided to plant them in organic potting soil in a large fabric pot by the front door just to try it and see what happens. It worked! The plants never blossomed, (which is a sign that new potatoes have formed), but we still got potatoes.
These were very easy to grow. Plant sprouted potatoes in well drained soil, hill up the soil around the plants when they get about 5 inches tall. Muulch with straw so the growing potatoes aren’t exposed to sunlight, which makes them turn green and toxic.
Gorgonzolla Pecan Salad with Green Beans
This was sooo delicious. I used garden greens from the back yard and green beans from the store. You can make your own candied pecans or buy them. Either blue cheese or gorgonzola would work in this salad.
Wash and spin salad greens. At this time of year, garden greens can be bitter from the heat. I like to put them in the fridge after I wash them, because cold temperatures sweeten them up a bit. Cook green beans for a few minutes until crisp tender, rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
For the candied nuts: In a skillet, 1 tblsp brown sugar and 1 tblsp olive oil. Melt the two together, toss in some raw pecans and cook, stirring continuously, until heated through. Let cool on a cookie sheet lined with parchment.
Rub a raw garlic clove all over the inside of your salad bowl. Add greens, green beans, top with a little gorgonzola, and some candied pecans.
Serve the salad with a drizzle of olive oil and a couple splashes of balsamic vinegar. Delicious!
