summer cookin'

hey sister ladies,
sorry i've been so slacker on posting, it doesn't mean i haven't been cooking! it's been really great to have time to cook and work in my garden and eat from my garden! so far i have a TON of greens, so i eat salad every day, almost every meal and share lots with my neighbors. a typical salad consists of:
mixed greens from the garden (buttercrunch, spinach, arugala, mesculin)
sunflower sprouts from local farm
japanese cucumber
cherry tomatoes
dulse (dried sea veggies)
avocado
gingered carrots (i made a big jar a la nourishing traditions and put them on everything)
goat cheese of some sort
and my basic dressing (1/2 cup good olive oil, 1 tlbs flax oil, 1 tsp stone ground dijon, 3 tlbs raw apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper)
so good. i usual throw a poached egg or some quinoa on there too.
also, the deconstructed sushi bowl from 'super natural cooking' is pretty great
brown rice
chopped anything! cucumber, avos, onions, steak, carrots, you name it and top with a dressing, this one has a miso citrus dressing.
and then the other day i gleaned 8 lbs of sour pie cherries from a neighbors tree and froze a bunch and made a delicious cherry cobbler from 'bakers illustrated' which involved soaking the cherries in a cup of red wine. so deliciouso especially with my friend laura's homemade ice cream.
miss you girls! wish you could come over for some salad!
