What are You Eating from the Garden?

Drinking.

Dandelion root tea - no, I didn't toast and use it for a coffee addition or substitute, as in the past. It's just peeled and chopped roots and boiled water. (Of course, they weren't quite from the garden but part of the field where the tractor guy parks.)

Tasteless! What a different from its flavor when I have chopped and heated it until it's just smoking in a castiron pan. By the way, Hoodat said that I really should put the dandelion root in the oven if'n I intend to use it as a chicory substitute in coffee. Maybe I'll get to that sometime but I really no longer have the super large plants that used to be available to me at another garden.

Chicory? No plans to grow that again to lower my caffeine intake. I know, I really should be taking better care of myself!

Had an arugula salad with grilled peaches last night and it was delicious. Arugula was from garden.

Also decorated a carrot cake with orange calendula flowers from garden.

Grilled zucchini with onions and mint all from garden.

Had an omelet yesterday with bits and pieces of random veg from the fridge....and garlic scapes from my garden. Also made a jug of sun tea with several handfuls of apple mint leaves for a different flavor.

Squash pizza on flatbread. Zucchini and yellow squash with a roasted garlic and flour browned base mixed into italian spiced philadelphia cream cheese. Flaked red peppers and fresh chives. Its really good.

I would try it but it sounds awful. & I like all the ingredients, just not together....

I was shocked myself. The roasted garlic italian spice cream cheese is as good as marinara.

The flatbread recipe I tried with fried brussel sprouts was good but next time way less lemon zest on top because the ricotta cheese with lemon was enough to lighten it up.

My simple minded take on Cream Cheese:

We don't make enough use of it.

Even for something as easy as macaroni and cheese casserole, substitute for the cheddar. Yes, of course, add more flavors with it and not just parmesan.

Will collect some pea tendrils today for stir-fry.
