food – Liz's Everest

You’re in luck.

I’d like to start blogging about my garden, as it is dear to my heart and now taking up much of my attention. After going away to see a family member last month, I arrived back to a very overgrown garden.

The plan is to let you go on the journey with me, from jungle to relatively domesticated and producing horn of plenty. The idea is that I can entertain myself by learning about food.

Cutting down on food miles is one way to help the environment and growing my own food is something I’d love to do to help the planet. I’d also like to help the community that supports me, so if I can assist through sharing my own experiences, several aims have been achieved at once.

Plus, maybe I’m just madly in love with Nature.

Recently, while hunting down recipes that were nutritious and budget friendly, I searched many different websites.

Much advice was given on growing one’s own herbs and vegetables, mixed in with different recipes.

Two comments I’d like to make to those of us who believe that food can be healthy and affordable are these…

When growing your own, an easy way to choose what to plant, is choose anything that works well in salad. Salad vegetables are always better fresh.

Then my second comment is to grow what goes well with eggs. This means, with the humble and yes, cheap egg in the fridge, a quick, easy and healthy meal can be whipped up with anything growing in the garden.

A side salad, also from that same garden, would make this little meal complete.
