Summer Time in the Garden = Love


One thing I particularly love about summer, is the abundance of delicious foods waiting to be created from the garden. My siblings and I love to gather at our parents house at least once a week and spend the whole day cooking and creating with whatever we can find. Luckily, with their garden, we can always find a lot.

If you have an herb garden, even just a few plants, try infusing different substances to add real, fresh flavor to future dishes. It makes for fun experiments, and beautiful jars!



These are, from left: rosemary sugar, herbed salt (rosemary, oregano, thyme), and rosemary simple syrup.


Can't wait to make chard tarts later this summer once these chard plants have fully matured.


We grow tons of rosemary along one of the southwestern walls. Personally, I could put rosemary in just about anything and love it! Which is why I am making a rosemary chicken salad this afternoon for lunch. Stay tuned for pictures.
