How Does Your Garden Grow Mid-July, 2014 | MisterMartha.com

There is so much going on in the garden I decided I better do a mid-July post --- one blink and you miss all the little changes. My favorite time in the garden is very first thing in the morning.  Everything is moist with the morning's dew and … [Read more...]

30 Minute Blueberry Crostata

30 Minute Blueberry Crostata | MisterMartha.com

Well, is it a crostata or a galette?  I’ve been wondering about that lately and as it turns out they are one and the same.  One Italian, the other French.  Both delicious.  Crostatas and galettes are free-form and rustic and can be sweet or savory.  … [Read more...]

4 Ingredient Strawberry Pies

4 Ingredient Strawberry Pies

I like the crust of a pie as much --- if not more! --- than whatever is filling it.  That buttery, flaky, and crisp shell can make or break a good pie.  Personally, I like to make pie crust from scratch.  I enjoy the process of measuring, kneading, … [Read more...]

How Does Your Garden Grow? | July, 2014

The garden is always teaching me lessons.  One big lesson I learned this year is to let the climbing peas have their own bed because they don’t play well with others.  I thought planting the fava beans on the perimeter of the bed with the peas was a … [Read more...]

Gluten-Free Balsamic-Strawberry Crumbles

Gluten-Free Balsamic-Strawberry Crumbles

It’s that strawberry time of year in the garden!  Like oranges taste, well, orange, and grapes taste purple, strawberries just taste red.  Does that make sense?  Sure cherries are red but they taste more scarlet or ruby to me — a little more … [Read more...]

Crispy Quick Pickled Radishes

I planted a few different varieties of radishes this year and I’ve decided the Easter Egg radish is my favorite.  Easter Egg radishes are not actually a specific variety of radish but a mix of different varieties with different skin colors.  They … [Read more...]

How Does Your Garden Grow June Strawberries and blueberries

Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and all seems right with the world. The weather has been almost perfect here on the east coast this spring.  Not too hot.  Not too cool.  Just right.  After the excruciating winter we had, I sort of think … [Read more...]

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com
Strawberry blossoms are an indication of a heavy crop this year.
Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
