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.

Caramalized Onion Pie


Caramalized Onion Pie


This is a recipe I adapted. You can make the basic recipe but add any number of variations such as sauteed greens of any kind, sauteed zucchini or sauteed radishes. Sun-dried tomatoes would also work.

2 large onions julienned
puff pastry dough (how much depends on how many people you need to feed)
(one Pepperidge farm is enough for 2 people use 2 for 4 people)
1/2 cup feta cheese
1/2 cup Romano or Parmesan cheese
olive oil ( 2 tbsp)
pinch of sugar
1/2 tsp thyme
1 egg

Caramelize the onions by heat a large saute pan - add the onion and 1/2 boiling water. Cook until water evaporate and add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, sugar and thyme. Stir until the onion are nicely browned.

Preheat oven to 425

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the puff pastry sheet on the parchment. Crimp up the edges. Sprinkle the cheeses evenly on the pastry. Then add the onion and and extras you want to add. Brush the pastry edges with egg wash. Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are golden.
