~~~ RECIPES & TIPS ~~~
Peaches
Spending a large part of my childhood living in the peach orchards of NJ, I am a big fan of this perfect summer fruit. Whole peaches. Peaches with vanilla ice cream. Homemade peach ice cream. Peaches on oatmeal or cereal or yogurt. Peach cobbler. Peaches cooked with tapioca, a family dish that we referred to as "Peaches and Fish Eyes," that really was delicious despite our questionable name. All these and more take me right back to summer in Richwood, NJ! Maybe you have a favorite peach recipe you could share with us. If you are looking for a different recipe to try, maybe one of these will seem peachy keen to you!
Just in case you aren't a fan of cooking videos, here is the recipe all ready to read.
Mixed Greens
These fresh greens would make a lovely salad, which is why they're garnished with bright, peppery nasturtiums! Maybe add some other veggies and whip up your favorite salad dressing to make a refreshing summer salad.
You can also add greens to a variety of hot dishes. Remove the nasturtium flowers before cooking but you can cook the nasturtium leaves just like any leafy green! The flowers will make a tasty garnish. Check out the link about nasturtiums below - fascinating!
Eggs ~ Pop a handful into eggs while scrambling them or try the slightly fancier version below.
Soups/Stews ~ Toss a few handfuls into any variety of simmering soup.
Pasta ~ Mix them into freshly drained hot pasta along with some olive oil or butter and salt & pepper. You can also stir greens into tomato sauce or layer them into lasagna.
Stir Fries ~ Add them to any stir fry or side dish, like sautéed mushrooms.
Sautéed Greens ~ Sauté in a skillet over moderate heat with a bit of minced garlic and salt. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and maybe a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Cherry Tomatoes
