Just finished eating my dandelion frittata. I mixed in about a tablespoon of chia seeds too. I shook on some Frank's Red Hot sauce and Tabasco Scorpion sauce for an extra kick of flavor.

I need to go out and pick more dandelion greens. It's been raining the last few days so there should be a lot of new growth to choose from. I'll chop the leaves, wilt them in my egg skillet and mix in beaten eggs... a dandelion frittata, sort of.

Yes it is! I saw that Baker Creek seeds sells several varieties of dandelion seeds.

I really couldn't detect much if any bitterness. All the leaves I picked were young and tender. I'm pretty sure I don't carry the "bitterness gene". My perception of bitterness might be a lot lower than yours...

Not exactly from my garden, but I picked a small handful of dandelion greens and some newly opened dandelion blossoms, chopped them up and sauteed it all in a skillet. I mixed it into scrambled eggs and it made a pretty good breakfast. I've always wanted to try cultivating one or two dandelion...

I filled a 2 quart saucepan with rock hard frozen Roma tomatoes, and making stewed tomatoes today. This is the first time I've broken into one of my gallon bags of tomatoes that I froze. Edited to add: Like I suspected the freezing broke down the structure, and the tomatoes turned into a...

A store bought box pizza isn't pizza unless it gets fixed up with extra toppings and cheese. I do that all the time, and just add what I have on hand. Favorites are onions, red bell peppers, maybe some shredded chicken meat. And more cheese.

Made a big garden salad for supper with fresh kale, horseradish leaf, onions, carrots, cucumbers, zucchini squash, yellow wax beans, tomatoes, green bell pepper, carrot tops, basil, Maldon's sea salt, coarse ground black pepper, Colby jack cheese and ranch dressing. It was so big I couldn't...

Looks good! My problem is I have worms in my turnips, and it takes a while to trim them all out.

Had a big garden salad, with leaf lettuce, turnip greens, a fresh carrot, tomatoes, green and yellow wax beans... and a couple of eggs on top.

I have too many zucchinis and too many eggs, so I came up with this today. Thick slices of a big zucchini, seed cores removed, cooked a while in a skillet then filled with eggs, cooked until done. Not bad, but would be better if the eggs were scrambled and mixed with sausage, onion, bell...

Some of those older local hardware stores are great resources for a lot of things that mega stores don't offer.

Seems like the local extension office doesn't test canner gauges. So, I just ordered this Schrader valve from Amazon. I'll screw it into the vent pipe port, carefully pressurize the canner to 10 or 11 pounds on the gauge with my compressor, then verify the pressure using my low pressure...

I know my old canner is a heavy, well made thing. The new seal/overpressure valve replacements cost only about ten bucks, too. The only thing I have concerns with is the pressure gauge and whether it's accurate. I guess I could mount a Schraeder tire valve in place of the little overpressure...

I think I have a little bottle of ascorbic acid for adding acid. All I have for canning jars is a new 12 pack of pint jars.

I'm planning to make homemade salsa when my determinate tomatoes start ripening. I'll find out if my $10 Goodwill pressure cooker works. But I'm guessing that salsa is acidic enough that a water bath would work.

I'm cooking green beans in my crockpot today using solar power from the system I set up on my front porch. I just turned the crockpot off and threw in a bunch of basil from a plant I accidentally broke off. Not sure how it will taste, but I'll eat it, good or bad. When the beans are done I'll...

Just put it in the oven. The only thing from my garden was the peas. I used whole wheat flour to make the crust. Tomato paste, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and about a teaspoon of Tabasco Habanero made the sauce. Decided to use both mozzarella and mild cheddar cheese on top, because you...

I decided to make homemade pizza today. I'm looking up a recipe now to make the dough. I roasted a chicken yesterday, spatchcock style, and have plenty left over. Toppings will be chicken, fresh peas, onions and mozzarella cheese. I think I have a sweet pepper in the fridge too. In my homemade...
