I left my garden and decided to spend a week soaking up the sun in St. Croix, VI. My brother is tending to my garden. I pray that everything is living when I return. St. Croix has not disappointed! Aloe - Perfect for my sunburned back, ouch! This plant is huge as you can see. It's about 4 feet tall and growing. Coconut Palm. The coconuts are cut down for guest...

A Diva's Garden: June 2013

A Diva Who Traded Her High Heels for a Kitchen Garden. Saturday, June 29, 2013. Here's a few of my visitors. The squirrels were the first to visit of course. They will sit and eat until they're about to explode. A peck on the window will send them away if they get too greedy. The blue jays haven't found it yet. In the second picture, they are feeding where I had the feeder originally. A cardinal and his mate have found it as well. Do you feed the birds? What backyard visitors do you get? There's conflict...

Quick Summer Squash with Preserved Lemon | A Kitchen Canvas
https://akitchencanvas.wordpress.com/2012/07/21/quick-summer-squash-with-preserved-lemon
Creative Adventures in a Small Country Kitchen. Quick Summer Squash with Preserved Lemon. This entry was posted on July 21, 2012, in American. This recipe is so easy it almost isn’t a recipe. I love preserved lemons. And make a quart jar every winter, but sometimes it is hard to find ways to use them. Chicken Tagine with green olives. Is a favorite as is rice pilaf. 1 Tablespoon olive oil. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 2 large summer squash- crooked neck, yellow, or zucchini, sliced. 1 teaspoon dried thyme.

Creative Adventures in a Small Country Kitchen. A Bit of Early Season Preserving. This entry was posted on June 7, 2012, in batch cooking. And tagged batch cooking. I haven’t really been experimenting around in the kitchen much lately. Sometimes it’s nice to fall back on old favorites or try someone else’s creations. I’ve mostly been making recipes from other bloggers and my newest cookbook, The Homesick Texan. Which was a graduation gift from Mom and Dad. Oh how I adore this cookbook! By Lianna Kristoff...

Creative Adventures in a Small Country Kitchen. Posted in June 2012. Shrimp Pasta with Artichokes and Sun Dried Tomatoes. There used to be a pasta dish at a certain un-named Italian-style chain restaurant that I just loved. It was all I would order. It had shrimp, chicken, artichokes, tomatoes, and a spicy cream sauce. The problem is, after I began cooking and experimenting more in the kitchen, many meals from restaurants didn’t taste quite … Continue reading →. A Bit of Early Season Preserving.

A Diva's Garden: Vegetable Garden Fencing
http://adivasgarden.blogspot.com/2012/03/vegetable-garden-fencing.html
A Diva Who Traded Her High Heels for a Kitchen Garden. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. I decided to expand my garden this year. Last year it was 10 x 20, and was somewhat crowed with what I planted. This year I'm going to till a 25 x 25 or 30 x 30 area and fence it in similar to the picture shown. We're putting up 250 feet of privacy fencing, so I thought I would fence the garden as well. I would love to hear what you think about one method over the other. I will definitely incorporate the arbor, stepping sto...

A Diva Who Traded Her High Heels for a Kitchen Garden. Monday, September 2, 2013. How to Determine When Watermelons Are Ripe. I harvested my Sugar Baby watermelons, and they are delicious. Sorry I only put in one plant this year. Next year, 2 - 3 plants will find their way into the garden. They're the perfect size to place in the fridge and just enough to share. I'll manage to harvest enough to place in the freezer for chili and salsa, but no pickled peppers this season. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I dec...

A Diva's Garden: Homemade Salsa
http://adivasgarden.blogspot.com/2013/10/homemade-salsa.html
A Diva Who Traded Her High Heels for a Kitchen Garden. Sunday, October 13, 2013. The garden is coming to a close, but I'm still producing a few tomatoes and peppers. I decided to make a batch of salsa for the winter. I have to say it was delicious. 5 - 6 lbs. tomatoes skinned and chopped (I used whatever variety I had that was ripe. I suggest allowing them to drain in a colander after chopping to get rid of some of the water). 3 cups chopped onion (I used yellow, red and white). 1 cup chopped cilantro.
