April vegetable garden update

We've harvested some delicious swiss chard and tomatoes and used the herbs for some soup (recipe tomorrow) already!  Can't wait for the tomatoes and cucumbers to grown!

Spring 2013 DIY: Vegetable garden

It's that time of the year again!  This year, BK added more fertilizer to the existing soil in our garden bed and we started planting!

On the menu: swiss chard and spinach (for smoothies), tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, parsley and mint

Roasted Cauliflower

• Add olive oil, salt and pepper and shake the bag to coat evening
• Spread onto baking sheet and bake 350F for 30-40 min

Have a great labor day weekend!
