So far I have made 2 rhubarb coffeecakes, which is my favourite, and I have the fridge stocked with jars of stewed rhubarb. M. Abeille told me he doesn't like rhubarb but he's been eating the stewed stuff for breakfast every day. I have been putting in only 1/4 cup of sugar and then one or two handfuls of stevia leaves (dried from the plants I had in the garden the past 2 summers). It works out beautifully--the leaves add sweetness that intensifies over time but no sugar calories.</p> <p>Also planning on strawberry-rhubarb pie; trying to time it to use the near-local strawberries when they are plentiful, and not waste the perfectly sweet super-local strawberries by cooking them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-21#post-1933549 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 14:38:02 +0000 JAileen 1933549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More food: my neighbor gave us some of her cherries. They were delicious and made me wonder why we never planted a cherry tree. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-21#post-1933473 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 07:17:09 +0000 Adriana 1933473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Carla, always fun to see your foodpictures. I can join if I remember to make pictures. I like basil but not pesto. Is it the garlic?<br /> These are the two breads I bake weekly. Sourdough. A project from my husband and me. He keeps "the mother" alive and prepares the dough. I do the baking not having the patience to check the bubbling stuff in the fridge and standing around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-21#post-1933472 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 07:13:11 +0000 Adriana 1933472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Carla, always fun to see your foodpictures.

Maybe a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. </p> <p>Here’s a dinner from a couple of weeks ago. Duck egg and leek frittata, tomato/basil/mozzarella salad, and bread from a local bakery. Someone gave us some duck eggs and they made an incredible frittata.</p> <p>We’ve been eating a lot of salads, bread and cheese, and quick stir fries and things like that. Too hot to spend much time in the kitchen lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-21#post-1933325 Mon, 02 Jul 2018 17:25:45 +0000 JAileen 1933325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In a sandwich I would use pesto with ham or turkey, cheese, and other usuals like lettuce and tomato.</p> <p>Ina Garten made a pasta salad with a pesto dressing which was pesto with spinach and mayo. The spinach was to keep it green. She added peas and pine nuts. It’s really delicious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-21#post-1933304 Mon, 02 Jul 2018 15:47:39 +0000 Anonymous 1933304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those strawberries look so great! You're reminding me to get to the market garden this week as the window for local berries is so short here. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-21#post-1933286 Mon, 02 Jul 2018 14:23:12 +0000 Sara L. 1933286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't take photos of this recipe:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.sunset.com/recipe/best-ever-chinese-chicken-salad">https://www.sunset.com/recipe/.....cken-salad</a>&nbsp;but it was really good.&nbsp; To make it easier, I used pre-shredded coleslaw mix, mandarin oranges, and chow mein noodles.&nbsp; It was light, easy, and all my kids ate it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-21#post-1933183 Mon, 02 Jul 2018 00:20:30 +0000 Carla 1933183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen - I freeze left over pesto, or large batches made when a basil harvest is required. Do it up in ice cube trays first, then into a Tupperware container. Usually used with pasta, but also into soups and sauces. A taste of summer in winter. In a sandwich sounds intriguing. What other sandwich fixings do you use with the pesto? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-21#post-1933179 Sun, 01 Jul 2018 23:50:24 +0000 JAileen 1933179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love pesto. The best use of it IMO is in a sandwich. The strawberries look so delicious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-21#post-1933177 Sun, 01 Jul 2018 23:45:46 +0000 Anonymous 1933177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look positively fantastic and yummy. Still trying to get there for your desserts you posted previously. I am gaining weight just looking at the pictures- lol. I love you sharing all those sights of what your area has to offer. Your chamber of commerce should hire you to do PR. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-21#post-1933135 Sun, 01 Jul 2018 20:38:02 +0000 Carla 1933135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A local family farm runs a market from May 1 to Christmas. There is an attached bakery that produces fresh bread, fruit pies, Chelsea buns, and shortcake. Their shortcake is epic! We've been getting strawberries for two weeks now, and I made a trifle for Canada Day. I use angle food cake instead of pound cake for a lighter version. The green stuff is pesto made from basil I grew myself!</p> <p>Pics #4 and #5 are from 'Queenie's Bakery', a local spot DH and I like to visit when we walk into town on Library Day (Thursday's) or after out big Sunday gym workout! </p> <p>Please post pics of food you've made, or food that others have made and you've enjoyed to this thread any time this month. </p>
