Roasted Chili Peppers

Check out my tutorial for roasted chili peppers (I used Anaheim Peppers from my garden) at Feminist Mormon Housewives.

Greek Quinoa Salad

Here's another food post (and I'm annoyed that I repeated myself- apparently it is so crucial that you make the quinoa ahead of time so it can cool, that I had to say it twice).  I've got to learn to proof-read better.

Anyway, this is a tasty one, so you should go buy the ingredients and make it THIS SECOND.

July 2014 Garden Update

This was my garden in May:


And here it is in July.  A lot happens in two months.


Peppers and melons.


Tomatoes.


Summer squash, cucumbers, ground cherry, kale and mini pumpkins.


Green beans.


This is the green bean bed that the birds got to and I didn't have enough seed to replant.  It has some beans, and I added two pumpkins plants and three sad clearance tomato plants.


Corn.


Winter squash.


Jerusalem artichokes and pole beans.


Artichokes.  These died a few times and I replanted.  Hopefully the two remaining plants survive and produce next year since they're not doing much this year.


Green onions (I grew roots on the ones I bought at the store and planted them.  I just keep cutting the tops off and they keep growing back.  I read that if I let one flower and go to seed, those seeds will come up next year).


Chicken Waterer.  Eventually this system will be hooked up to our automatic watering system.



Baby watermelon!


Banana pepper (for pickling!).


Anaheim pepper.
