PUTTING UP: Tomato Sauce
Thanks to an extended summer harvest season, I’m getting my canning groove back after a month hiatus.
I certainly wasted no time in putting up… it was time to put up or shut up! No more dawdling (well, not that I WAS but … )
(14) TABOULEH
Ever since I was introduced to this Mediterranean salad back when I was a teenager, Tabouleh has become one of my favorite summer salads. Especially using the fresh homegrown ingredients that are growing in our garden, I could easily polish off a whole bowl myself.
(5) JUST PEACHY
Blame it on the humid weather last week and the smell of wet pavement when the humidity broke or the Gillian Welch tune “Dixieland” rolling around in my noggin, I got a hankering for good ol’ southern cooking.
(7) MIND YOUR ELDERS!
With a have a huge elderberry bush in the corner of the property, every summer I always enjoy making preserves & syrups.
The bush and berries are steeped in folklore and offer many a remedy for a slew of ailments.
SUMMER FRUIT SALAD
One of the joys of summer eating is fresh herbs. Mixing herbs like mint, pineapple sage and lemon verbena with fruit gives is like fireworks for your taste-buds.
(1) SOMETHING NEW

(14) FRITTERS

(9) GOLDEN GEMS

(9) LEMON PEA PASTA
One of my favorite early spring dishes is this quick and easy “Lemon Pea Pasta.” The recipe is simple
