A garden of ideas, beckoning you to explore.
The steady stream of harvest last year changed the way I thought about cooking and eating seasonally. I became much more creative with the way I incorporated vegetables from meal to meal, and this made me a better cook, and a healthier person overall.
September holds the Autumn Equinox, which signifies the long days of Summer coming to an end. This is a log of the butterflies, bees, and other plants that have made an appearance this month.
This recipe is a true celebration of the bounty of September, with squash, corn, tomatoes, peppers, beans, zucchini, and fresh herbs. And honestly, it has no right to be so delicious considering it is just a big pot of mixed vegetables (and butter).
Creating something of your own is as important as exercising or eating well, and it is often much easier to follow a plan or a recipe to begin with instead of stepping into the unknown all alone. If you desire a bit of guidance to step forth, I offer you a creative practice to try.
In the first weeks of June, green beans, zucchini, and cucumber are beginning to be plentiful. We are very lucky in Summer!
