The tomatoes are just now beginning to taper off here in Mississippi. However, if you canned some cooked tomatoes, this recipe will still taste vital and fresh. Store-bought canned tomatoes will work as well. A few months ago, my friend and I held another one of our Seasonal Soirees at the MS Modern Homesteading Center. … Continue reading

Who do you trust?
I must say that I am madly in love with plants. They have taken over my life and…to be honest…my apartment. Herbs are drying in various nooks and extractions are littered about my bedroom and kitchen. I don’t mind. I’ve been kissed by the plant divas and they tend to keep you enamored as long … Continue reading

Wild Herb, Weed, Blossoms, and Greens Salad
I had to post this beautiful picture of the wild herb and greens salad that we made for a local, foodie/dinner event this past week. This salad contained about 20 different wild herbs and weeds and a few different kinds of edible blossoms — all being offered up around most non-sprayed, chemical-free, not mowed lawns. … Continue reading
Snack Attack: Raw Cacao Almond Bars
