Bikini Gardening

Before anyone says, “I wish I had a garden like yours!” remember: my car literally smells like poop right now. (Seriously. Don’t buy organic compost and put it in your backseat in 90° weather without laying plastic down first.) #GardeningTips #DoAsISayNotAsIDo #Organic

Really starting to be glad I didn’t pull these volunteer vines without giving them a fair shot like I was going to… looks like we may have a few Tondo Scuro Di Piacenza summer squash on our hands, aka one of the roundest tastiest zucchinis I’ve ever had! <3 #HeirloomVeggies #Squash #SeasonalProduce #GrowYourOwn #WabiSabi

Spring is hands down my favorite time of year to play in the kitchen! Last night’s dinner: roasted spaghetti squash topped with a buttery parmesan garlic sauce, morel and oyster mushrooms, and freshly chopped herbs from the garden. (Complete with quickly charred bitter greens and a glass of red wine!) #YardToTable #HappierMeals #SeasonalProduce

Arugula is one of those things that never seems to grow where I plant it!!! Luckily, it seems to self seed everywhere, giving us plenty of sidewalk crack salad. ;) #VolunteerVeggies #OneStrawRevolution #Greens

Secret food gardens are all over LA! Keep your eyes peeled- you never know what you’ll see planted between the roses in the next parking lot. ;) #LocalFood #GrowYourOwn #TheRevolutionWillBeFertilized #Organic #GangstaGardening

It’s been way too long since there’s been a canning project on the table! Tonight’s seasonal produce inspiration: radish pods, young garlic, dill, and chive blossoms. #WeCanPickleThat #CanningAcrossAmerica #RealFood #SavingTheSeason

This is what happens when your BF is a bit of a foodie but is allergic to shellfish: jackfruit crab cakes with homemade sauerkraut and wasabi tartar sauce. #FoodAllergies #VegetarianSubstitutions #MeatlessMondayIdeas #Delicious #JERF #HappierMeals
