Welcome to my Blog

Hi, my name is Suanne and I am writing this blog to share some of the tips and recipes I have learned or created with our backyard garden. The garden itself is actually my husband John's but we have had a garden for over 25 years so I have picked up some garden knowledge along the way. We live in Austin, Texas so we are blessed with a year long growing season. We always have something to eat from the garden and this pretty much dictates what we eat. All of our meals are planned around what happens to be growing at the time. One of the biggest challenges is what I like to call crop maintenance. What to do with all of the vegetables? Beyond sharing with the neighbors and friends I am always trying creative approaches to preparing the bounty. So the blog seemed like a good way to both keep track of and share my recipes.

Super Bowl crudites


We had tons of stuff in the garden so I decided to make snacks out of what we had. This is definetly good for those watching their weight. I sliced daikon radishes and carrots. Then I roasted sliced beets at 325 for about 30 minutes - I sliced them thins and lighted coated with oil oil and salt. They ended up nice and crispy. Then I made a spinach yogurt dip. Healthy and good.

Spinach Yogurt dip

4 cups spinach
1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp corinder
1/2 tsp garam masala
salt and pepper to taste
white balsamic vinegar

Put it all in a food processor and puree until smooth.
