Vegetable Tags

Now you can get my art on these cute veggie tags. I have sets in my ebay shop and etsy shop (see the right side of my blog for links). There are all sorts of veggies available radish, peas, lettuce, carrot, onion, zucchini, eggplant, cucumber, squash, asparagus, pepper, tomato and corn. I will have more varieties available soon including herbs!

Local & Home grown food

With food and gass prices rising I decided to try to cook as much as I can from veggies from the farmers market in the nearby town and the food I grow in my yard. A couple of weeks ago when the market started there was not a lot to chose from. But it was fun thinking of dishes to make and it even got me to like rutabegas. Not jerusalem artichoke though...I am still not fond of that.

This is what I had to work from:
Rutabega and Jeresalem artichoke


Purple flowering greens of some sort and leeks


Greens and beets


The first night I made pasta from scratch and added a rutabega, leek and carrots that had overwintered in my garden


I also added some mustard greens and herbs from my garden and garlic


Here is the pasta rolled and cut by hand


And the dish:
