Tomato Baby

I've been watching this little guy grow since April, and now he's almost ready for harvest! Can't wait to try my hand at canning these. 

Tomato variety: Bonnie Plants, Heinz Super Roma

I believe there is a necessity for us to be connected to our food.  It makes us aware of seasons and life cycles. It reminds us that vital functions on earth are unplugged.  It gives us a unique way to express creativity and build community.  The recipes and thoughts shared here are not from a culinary genius, master gardener, or a well-educated scholar, but rather an ordinary girl who happened to grow up with grape tomatoes instead of grass in her yard.

It’s reaching peak peach season, and that means eating peaches in as many forms as possible! A quick guide to making the perfect Peach Grilled Cheese is up on the blog! . #f52grams #thecookfeed #peaches #summer #ofthedirtrecipes
Happy first day of summer! While I’m definitely a fall/winter person (#winterbodyallyear 💃), I love summer for its abundant produce. My mom just harvested the first of the summer squash, and I came home to a delicious bag of goodies. Definitely planning on making these Curried Squash Burgers this weekend (along with that homemade tomato chutney)! . PS- they’re vegan! And, you can make extra patties to freeze for a quick meal.

Bundled little labors of love at the Alabama Farmer’s Market. 💚 . #collardgreens #f52farmstand #f52grams #buylocal #alabamagrown
Thoroughly satisfied with my market treasures from today. This is the first market I’ve been able to shop at with intention since January and it felt like catching up with an old friend. (But I will remember to NOT wear jeans in the silly Alabama humidity next time........) . This lot represents the hard work of 8 different farms from around the state: squash, daikon, tiny plums, flowering hyssop, basil, flowering oregano, spring onions, garlic scapes, nectarines, tarragon. . #buylocal #f52grams #f52farmstand #pepperplacemarket #squash #garlicscapes #basil #daikon #plums
The last of the cabbages and Brussels sprouts are being harvested as warm weather takes hold- and what better way to enjoy them than with a glaze of balsamic vinegar and a roast in the oven. If you’re growing sprouts, this recipe makes use of the head of the plant, but can be adapted to lots of sprouts or small heads of cabbage. Link in profile 🌳! . #nowaste #brusselsprouts #f52grams #specialtyproduce #ofthedirtrecipes
