Cox & Cox

Or if you are fancy you can buy this from Cox & Cox here.

I not going to lie, I want one.

Make your own newspaper seedling pots

Of course I had my little helper, Cali.

Roasted garlic hummus and pita chips

Pita chips

Preheat oven 400 degrees, cut up pita bread into triangles. Brush with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Spread pita chips on parchment lined baking sheet, bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Roasted garlic hummus

1 cup chickpeas

1 lemon

2 tablespoons olive oil

6-8 roasted garlic cloves

2 tablespoons sesame paste (tahini)

Hand mash chickpeas. Add juice from lemon, oil, garlic, sesame paste. Mix well. Garnish with tomato, cucumber, and olives.

Roasted garlic salsa

Pearl onions, jalapenos, plum tomatoes, lime, cilantro, and roasted garlic.

I can't wait till I grow my own cilantro and tomatoes, maybe I better add some serrano or jalapeno seeds to the pile.

Roasted garlic

Preheat oven 400 degrees.

Cut the tops off 3-6 heads of garlic, exposing as many cloves as possible. Pour 1/4 - 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil over the top. Salt and pepper.

Cover with foil. Bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown.

Let cool, squeeze each clove out into a jar, pour oil in and store in your fridge.

Coming soon, roasted garlic hummus, and roasted garlic salsa.

Tiny flowers

Weeds from the front yard, tiny flowers in a bobbin. This would be really cut in a window sill. If only I could find my thimbles in all the boxes in the garage. Then the flowers would last. Once we get settled and unpacked I will find my thimbles and do some tiny arrangements in those too.

Seed sharing

My best friend Erica (check out her blog here) and I are sharing seeds this season. She bought veggies and I bought herbs and cucumbers. We both love gardening and growing our own food, this way we get twice as much for our money. I never need all the seeds that come in a package.



I just scanned the packages and divided up the seeds. Repacked the ones for Erica and mailed them off.

I can't wait to get my veggie seeds from Erica and start planting. Come back next week to see exactly what I get from her.

I ordered:

Chives
Santo Cilantro
Sweet Basil
Catnip
German Chamomile
Moss Curled Parsley
and cucumbers.

All the seeds (except the cucumbers) are from High Mowing Seeds. All of there seeds are organic.
