When do you harvest garlic scapes?

When to Harvest Scapes (and What to Do With Them) For most (but not all) alliums, scapes indicate that a plant that has bolted, meaning that the taste will be ruined. The good news is that scapes tend to happen across your yard within a small window of a week or two, so if youβre diligent enough, youβll be able to grab them all and do something...

Simple and light with a touch of citrus

I sautΓ©ed sliced zucchini (without oil-start with a HOT π₯ saute pan and keep broth or water nearby to prevent sticking- works very well!).
When the zucchini is browned to your preference, add some fresh thyme and lemon juice to the pan for just a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve and enjoy! Add more lemon or thyme if you wish.
This is a great salt free dish as well if you are trying to reduce your salt intake! The citrus βfoolsβ your taste buds into believing that you taste salt!
This pairs well with Cashew Alfredo pasta πover a baked potato π₯ or served on itβs own! It will be a great way to use use zucchini once those harvests begin!

The evidence continues to increase and mainstream media is finally sharing the information.
FYI-just because a food is meat free or vegan, doesnβt make it healthy.
Ultra processed foods are linked to heart disease and early death.
Whole foods are best!

I was attempting to make a rice paper pancake (oil free) using the beautiful oyster mushrooms.
Iβm not certain what happened, maybe my pan wasnβt hot enough? It just turned into a mushed mess! π€£
It still tasted good though.
Maybe Iβll try smaller dumplings and use the air fryer.
Donβt let recipe mishaps get you down, if you like all of the ingredients youβre using, it will most likely taste good! Not every recipe turns out βpicture perfectβ.

I loooooove mushrooms!
The health benefits of mushrooms
according to Nutritionfacts.org include:
Mushrooms contain an amino acid called Ergothioneine. This amino acid can only be found in mushrooms.
βOf more than a hundred compounds measured in the bloodstreams of thousands of individuals, the one most associated with the lowest rates of disease and death was ergothioneine. Higher blood levels were associated with lower risk of heart disease, stroke, and death from all causes put together over a period of more than 20 years.β
β Low blood levels of ergothioneine are correlated with increased risk of frailty, cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment, dementia, and Parkinsonβs diseaseβ

When life gives you cauliflowerβ¦β¦
Freeze it! In this case I blanched it before freezing on a cookie tray. I will then vacuum seal it in smaller packages.
Ways to use cauliflower to bump up nutrient density-
π₯€Add to smoothies (no one will know!)
π Addto sauces, soups, stews or chili
π₯ Add it to mashed potatoes and serve over a bed of arugula (my fav!)
Or just use it as a side!
It is low calorie and is rich in nutrients, including dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, and folate
Eat more cauliflower!
