I've been pondering how I want to plant my garden this year. Never seems to be enough space for what I want to grow (and eat) yet a garden much bigger than what I have would be way too time consuming. Partnering with a local farmer to fill in the gaps with some crops to use in my catering business. I'm excited to see what sort of cool, unusual, and tasty veggies/edibles we come up with! First crop---purple carrots!! Yummmm....
Coming soon…a brand new look to our website; catering and food manufacturing combined and more stuff to play with; also, new look to our product line coming out in 2015. It’s going to be an amazing year!
Wish I could take the credit for this but it goes to #Sunset magazine, Nov issue. Tested this recipe and it was off-the-chart amazing! You need a mandoline or very steady hands (opt for the mandoline—it will go much faster!) Next time, I will shoot before I eat (hopefully).
Thinly slice 2#’s of brussels sprouts and 1/2 c. red onion; place in a bowl and add 4 tangerines, peeled and segmented.
Shake 1/2c. evoo, 1/3c. lemon juice, and 1/4c +2TBSP of grated pecorino romano in a tight lidded jar. Pour over bowl contents; stir gently; s/p to taste.
Note: I didn’t have or want tangerines so I added some toasted pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries instead. Outrageous!
Dare you not to lick the bowl when it’s empty! OMG….
As you can see, if you’ve been staying tuned, I’ve been busy shooting You Tubes and having a blast!! Hope you can use some or all of my tips at some point during the holidays; they’re actually good at any time of the year. Time, space, and budget savers…
About to go and stuff, rub, and wrap my turkey for T-day; imagine you all are doing the same, unless you are vegetarian, in which case you can chill till later in the day than most and still sit down to a soul-satisfying feast. Hope everyone is happily fed and reconnecting with family and friends, new and old ones. Remember to save those carcasses, roast them and make amazing stock using your veggie prep scraps. From soil to soul—it’s ALL good!
