Garlic Scape and Radish Spread ~ Roasted Spring Vegetables with Brussels Sprouts

I am still getting a few more garlic scapes, although most have been cut of.  

If you happen to have one garlic scape, this recipe is wonderful.  I have to buy the organic cream cheese.  I don't have a source for raw goat's milk or cow milk right now.


This new recipe was amazing!  Hubby and I are the only two in the household who like raw radishes, so we got to eat this all to ourselves.  Yum!  Honestly, you don't even taste them in this spread.  Hubby said so far this is the best spread I've made.

Here is the recipe:

Garlic Scape-Radish Spread
1 cup chopped radishes (I used french breakfast radishes)
1 garlic scape, I diced (slicing would work too)
1 cup fresh spinach, thinly sliced
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Mix together, serve on seeded crackers, celery sticks, etc.

I used all organic ingredients (and home grown).  Delicious!




It was 94°F, and felt like 98°F, yesterday.  I kept begging the rain to arrive and give my gardens a nice big drink.  The grass literally crunched under my feet.  Too hot to be outside too long.  Too hot for a motorcycle ride, and too hot to sit on the porch.  Hot, hot, hot.   However, a breeze kicked up late, cooling off the porch, and I actually took crochet work out.  The lightest work I could find.  It was still hot.  Rain arrived, so I am thrilled today.

Our egg supply is grand, so I boiled more and we had egg salad sandwiches.  In the early morning, I came in with these lovely pickings. - sugar snap peas, two more garlic scapes, and a few more spears of asparagus.  I tossed them all together, along with radishes and brussels sprouts, drizzled olive oil, salt and pepper, and some oregano from the herb garden.  Mmmm!  

If you haven't tried roasting your radishes, you really should.  I still can't get my vegetarian to try one this way, but hopefully she will.  I had about 10-12 spears of asparagus, and I have a few more coming up.  It's crazy that I'm getting it so late, and in this heat.

I keep reading how hot it is for you. We're having a so-so summer, though it's only just begun so I have to remember that. It keeps going from hot and humid to November weather. But July and August are just around the corner! Your veggies look yummy!
Thanks Rain, dinner was delicious.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
