 This was one of the first peaches we got from a local market - so beautiful and they smelled wonderful!! I was really looing forward to eating these peaches .....unfortunately, although they looked and smelled great, they didn't much going for them in the taste department. I guess it's really too early in the year for truly awesome fresh peaches! We ended up chopping and freezing all our peaches - they are great in smoothies!!

 Covid cooking! I have discovered fresh wheat berries (from www.palousebrand.com) and have been grinding my own flour and using it to make sourdough bread. It's pretty coarse so I do have to use "regular" commercial flour with it but it gives the bread a nice texture and a wonderful taste!
One of the benefits of staying home - more cooking gets done and homemade bread is so yummy. Those silver bracelets and more like them are available in my online store - click here to shop all the bracelets!  I love cooking with fresh herbs - amazingly enough (at least to me) it really makes a big difference in taste. Spaghetti sauce is especially good with fresh oregano and basil! I'm just learning to use these herbs and it's a fun adventure!
Fortunately these two herbs love the extreme heat we get here in south Louisiana so I hope to have fresh herbs all summer long! Fingers crossed! That little silver stacking ring is available on my website - click here to shop the rings!
Since we are staying at home alot (thanks to the pandemic) we are also doing quite a bit of cooking! I happen to love lima beans so last week I made a huge pot of beans with sausage - so delicious!
I just followed the recipe on the Camellia bag so thought I would include it here. Happy cooking, y'all! It's hard to see but that silver stacking ring is on my website now and, fyi, I am making more this week! Click here to see the rings in the store!  We have had a bay tree in the yard for a long time. It was given to us by the parents of a dear friend and we never bothered to use the leaves..... what were we thinking??
Anyway, last week, I decided to harvest some of those beautiful, spring green leaves and try to dry them! This is the first day - so fresh and green! I read that I should lay them out, not touching, in a shady place inside. We'll see how it goes! That little silver thumb ring/midi ring/stacking ring is available in my online shop - click here to check it out!  My older son is a cook. No, he doesn't get paid to cook but he is a super cook.
Now & then he sends me a recipe for something he has made that he thinks is simple enough for me to make (I am not particularly a good cook) but that is still tasty. He had been talking about this focaccia bread for awhile and, when he sent me the recipe earlier this week, I jumped right in made it. Talk about GOOD...and SIMPLE!! It's a sourdough recipe and it was wonderful. I am so happy to have a son who can cook!! There are lots of handmade sterling silver bracelets in my online shop - click here to check them all out & do some shopping! |
