recently germinated winter storage radishes (purple and green daikons, and watermelon radishes!)

 swallowtail caterpillars on carrot leaves

red noodle beans almost ready to harvest

a couple of fun and easy recipes!

roasted green beans:
these are so easy an really delicious!  toss beans with oil spread on a baking tray, sprinkle with salt and roast at 350 until tender, about 20 minutes (depending on size of beans).  we make these without pulling the tops off, and then just eat to the stem and leave the stem on the plate, great for a busy day!


zucchini pizzas. 
slice large zucchinis into three or four lasagna noodle length pieces (make them thicker than a noodle, though, about 1/2 inch thick) spray with oil, cook in oven or on grill 5 minutes or until tender.  flip over add tomato sauce, cheese and any other pizza toppings you like!  bake or grill until cheese is melted.  serve like french bread pizza.  easy enough a kid could make, simple and gluten free!
