Here's the game plan ...The front box is filled with leafy greens. Did you know that aside from being beautiful kale is chock-full of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory components? It's true! Last year we planted kale and it flourished like a weed! We only planted a 3'x5' section of it. We ate kale weekly and gave some away to friends and there was still tons left! I think every time the rain fell the kale grew a few inches.
Broccoli is also big at our house. The kids love it. They're not big on eating it raw. Yet. I think it's a bit difficult to chew on. But they do LOVE their roasted broccoli -- tossed in olive oil and simply seasoned with kosher salt and ground pepper.
Beets though... This is new to us.
Stay tuned. Tomorrow I'll share with you what I'm going to do with that rotund basil bush. Mmm... it's my favorite basil recipe!
Super cute, Sara! I have ZERO knowledge to share, but I'm really excited to see the recipes that you post! I've heard great things about your lentil tacos and kale soup - share your abundance of knowledge with us! Good luck on the blog - we'll be watching!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to get some of your recipes! I have a garden fresh vegetable cook book that I love...but I am always excited to try new recipes! I am going to try your roasted broccoli soon! That sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteRiding! I'm so glad you are gardening too! We have the same herbs growing so we'll have to swap some recipes! I'm such a beginner gardener. So we'll see how this goes. I've found that some things work and flourish and others just die - but it's sure fun trying!
ReplyDeleteEm - First off -- we miss you guys! I don't know about "abundance" of knowledge (you're too kind:) but I'll share what we've tried and liked. I just bought this new little vegetarian cookbook and it has some different stuff in it. I figure we'll give it a whirl! I'll be the guinea pig and pass along if I like!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blog. You are so talented Sarah. Thank you for sharing this with me, hopefully it will inspire me to grow something one day!
