First meal out of the garden this year! We planted our radishes just a bit too close this year and needed to thin them, so I took some home and a few onions as well. Mmmm…dirt Growing your own food is just a wonderful thing, if you’re not growing your really missing out! It’s not just the food that you’re missing out on though, it’s the smell of the dirt, the smell of the garden once you water it, the connection with the earth when you kneel down and weed for an hour. It’s a very spiritual project. Your growing food. And it’s very cool. What would it be like if you had to grow this food to live though, ever thought of that?
So, like I’ve said before, start with good ingredients and you don’t have to do much to make a great meal. And, with food this fresh it’s a no brainer (of course it is for me, but really for you too!). I just took the garden fresh radishes and onions, washed just a bit of the dirt off, sliced and put them into a salad along with some other freshly picked herbs. A little red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, freshly ground pepper and voila we’re in business!
Fresh food! Along with the salad I marinated firm tofu in some spices and put it on the grill, tofu and salad…mmmm. Easy.

My favorite crop out of the garden! I just love to pull up radishes and give them a quick wash and start enjoying. I never tire of eating fresh radishes, as I know they soon will be gone for another year.
