Home made pickles

The local biodynamic farmer gave me extra cucumbers so I made 8 jars of pickles!!
So easy.
I soaked the cucumbers in ice water.
I filled a large pot with water boiled it and sterilized all jars.
Then I cut up the cucumbers and placed cucumbers, a clove of garlic and a sprig of dill in each jar.
I brought 3/4 cup sea salt
6 cups vinegar
9 cups of water
To a boil until the salt was dissolved.
I poured the brine in the jars leaving 1/2" at the top.
Wiped down each lid and rim.
Sealed the jars.
And boiled the jars for 15 minutes.
Voila! Homemade pickles!!

Raw vegan Easter baskets!!

I made my famous truffles into egg shapes, wrapped them up in turquoise wrappers, and loaded them in felted baskets! So cute...

eggs, greens and daffodils!

I had the lucky opportunity of purchasing some farm fresh eggs last week. So this week I cooked them up with some greens that were in season, straight from the farm!

The greens went great with the eggs

and the daffodils made me happy to get up and greet the day!

spring vegetable dinner al fresco

spring vegetable dinner al fresco!!

today was a wonderful Spring day...

My fiance and I rode bikes, and then dined outside...

The table was set for two, clothed in a beautiful weaving that we picked up in Costa Rica....

The lighting consisted of candles, Christmas lights, and a carved gourd that my fiance's parents picked up for us in Mexico

The meal consisted of fried sweet potatoes, lightly salted

and lots of greens from the barefoot farmer

I cooked them in some homemade hotsauce, and a little mango

beautiful meal

for a beautiful evening...
