Apology & Confession

Hello from such a long time ago!  I keep telling Freddie that I must write a little blurp to fill in the long silence.  I have not forgotten this blog & have every intention of keeping it up.  However, we have had a little interruption in our routine.  We have a new 'crop' planted & it should be harvested late March -- a baby!  And with that has come three months of nausea & total food aversions.  Poor Freddie, my usual love of cooking has been completely gone!  I tried to do what I could with the blog but even the pictures made my stomach churn.  So here goes to hoping I've rounded the bend and Freddie can eat decent again & I can blog again!!  Thanks for your patience.

Watercress & Pepita Salad

This is a delicious salad recipe from one of our customers.  Cress has a very strong peppery taste, but the dressing on this salad compliments it well.  We really enjoyed it.  We also tried using a sweet red wine vinegar dressing, but the sweetness seemed to make the cress stand out too much.

It's easy to feel extremely healthy consuming this salad!!
