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.

Boil the Beets for about 30 minutes, cool,peel and cut them into cubes. Keep the different colors separate.

Combine vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add a half of the vinaigrette to the the beets.
Add the rest to the greens. Place greens on the plate and arrange the beets and avocado and top with the goat cheese.
