Now that you grew delicious food, what can we make with it? Going from harvest to plate can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience, where you get the satisfaction of cooking something delicious that you’ve grown yourself or sourced locally. Homegrown produce is a great way to make a meal a next level experience.
Summer has arrived!
The strawberries are ripe and ready for the plucking. Strawberries can be grown in ground, raised beds or containers. They only require about a square foot of quality soil for every plant to produce. Mulching the bed with straw helps conserve water and keep your berries off of the dirt. We have a constant disagreement with the local slug and snail population that believe the strawberries are planted for them. This year we have sprinkled diatomaceous earth around the strawberry bed and it is working!
Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, magnesium, phosphorus and manganese. While also containing folate and potassium.
Can anything other than bacon really taste like bacon? We thought we would try and see if the mushrooms could really take on a bacon flavor. They definitely took on a smoke flavor and were tasty. Not exactly an exact replacement for bacon though. It still brings on that deep smoke flavor to add depth to dishes.
