This Week In My Kitchen :: Blog Hop

Capturing my love of whole foods, combined with the activity of a bustling kitchen.

A weekly collection of photos from the center of my home.

golden raspberries {wholly rooted}

basil & garlic scape pesto making {wholly rooted}
fresh fruit coladas {wholly rooted}
top to bottom: ingredients to make my favorite iced tea -- agua de Jamaica with turmeric, plantain in the dehydrator, radish pods and garlic scapes for pickling, strawberries and lemon verbena in a pot to make homemade soda base, golden raspberries from the garden, veggie kabobs, dairy free tzatziki (recipe tomorrow), roasted garlic scapes/basil/pine nuts in the food processor en route to becoming garlic scape pesto, and fresh berry coladas. 


We have had a busy week in the kitchen - CSA season is in full swing and the garden is starting to overload. The dehydrator is full and running every day, the fridge is stuffed and a cooler is on the floor for overflow, something is always in a pot or bowl or on the stove being made into something. The freezer is filling fast. And while my husband and I probably eat more lettuce than most humans on the planet this time of year, even having lettuce or spinach/chard for pretty much breakfast, lunch, and dinner every.single.day. we have not put a dent into the greens arriving in our CSA share. Last night he asked how much lettuce we got this week in a scared voice. Ha! As for fruit - we are not jam or jelly people. Other than my husband none of us like it so I make a few, but no jam marathon canning sessions here. BUT I do love making sweet/sour sweet/savory sweet/spicy compotes, mustards, and aigre doux. So some fruit is used for that, and some is used to make a base for homemade sodas (you mix your base with plain seltzer/soda water). This week we made strawberry/mint/lemon verbena. Yum. 


What have you made this week? What is happening in your kitchen?

They were so good! I used frozen blueberries, fresh strawberries, mint, orange liqueur, and rum. Whizzed in the blender. Oh my.
