New Food Tried ~ New Recipe Tried (or so I thought) ~ Question about a product

I can say that my husband gets credit for finding this "pasta" at the store.  Ingredients are lentil, pea and cauliflower.

I used the vegetable pasta to make Zucchini Linguini with Walnuts, but used the veggie pasta, and added some homemade pesto.  The texture is different from regular pasta, but it was good for being made with vegetables.  The only downside on this "pasta" is that it does not re-heat very well.

I tried a random recipe I found online, to use that delicous rhubarb I picked (and my foot paid the price).  Anyway, the recipe called for any "berry" but I mixed some thawed strawberries with the rhubarb, and it turned out very good.  The recipe uses einkorn flour vs. all purpose white flour.

It's called Einkorn Berry Crisp from Farmhouse on the Boone.  After I wrote up this post, I saw that I had tagged the recipe once before, so I apparantly made it before ha ha!  Oh my.  I also used monkfruit vs coconut sugar the last time too.  Also, the recipe doesn't say old fashioned oats or quick oats, so I used old fashioned this time.  I will try quick oats next time (both are organic that I buy).

Tried a new recipe with swiss chard!  Roasted Swiss Chard with Feta, and it was delicous.  Definitely different, and I read the reviews and added a bell pepper and 2 cloves of garlic.  I will be making this again.  Recipe is from AllRecipes online.

Once again blogger is having issues.  Spell checker is not working, nor is the search mode, while working on a blog draft.  If you view your own blog, and use the search bar there, it works.

Does anyone have one of these (like this one)?  I'm looking for the best bang for the buck, to make my life easier the next 3-4 weeks.  It's either that, or hire someone to clean, and this is way less expensive.

Welcome May! What's Growing?

 

We a getting more asparagus thankfully, but I need to (again) plant more this year.  We are also getting rhubarb from the garden.  Yum!  

The lilac bush is blooming, and it smells wonderful when I am outside.  You can even smell it clear on the front porch.   I"m so glad the pine tree did not ruin the bush.  It did some damage, but I think it's recovering.  It just doesn't have as many blooms, but boy it smells divine.

Herbs in the herb garden.  Just ignore the weeds for now.  I hope to be back to that job sooner than later.

Green Onions

Sage

Thyme

Oregano

Chives

Lemon balm

Peppermint

My bleeding heart is blooming.  Terrible photo.  It was very windy when I took the photo.

I have so many volunteer chives just about in every crack and nook around the herb garden this year.

Yarrow

What is this?  Wild garlic?  Wild onion?  They are growing up singular, and all over my flower beds this spring.  I can't even tell from smelling the bulb, and cutting a bulb to smell.  These are tall, but the bulb is small.

They do not look like green onions or chives, so I'm stumped.  

Meanwhile.....

The rosebed with hostas from h-e-double hockey sticks.  If I wanted to harvest clevers, this would be a great time for that ha ha ha!  I see a mullein plant in there too.  I see several days of weeding this one too.  I don't think I could pay someone to weed for me ha ha!

I have a few spring perennials coming up, but have not bloomed yet too.  It's not quite time to plant any annual flowers, herbs or plants/seeds in the vegetable garden just yet.  I am pretty sure we are not planting any peas, considering I can't get out there to put up my pea fence right now.
