This savory cornbread is hearty and rich and cake-like and full of flavor. Sometimes I add a tablespoon or two of fresh chopped sage, oregano or marjoram. This is a great accompaniment to baked beans and coleslaw. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7425/skillet-cornbread Fri, 09 Oct 2009 05:10:00 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7237/whole-pickled-peppers http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7237/whole-pickled-peppers Posted by cookinwithherbs
I have made good pickled peppers from Santa Fe Grande, Hungarian hot, red hot cherry, jalapeno, serrano and habanero chiles. Makes about 6 pints.

I have been making this spray for more than 20 years--I don't remember where the idea came from--perhaps an old issue of Organic Gardening or Mother Earth News. I do know that the recipe works. It is... ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/7076/garlic-and-chile-insecticidal-soap-spray Mon, 24 Aug 2009 14:13:17 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6692/exotic-ginger-syrup-with-lemon-herbs-and-vanilla-bean http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6692/exotic-ginger-syrup-with-lemon-herbs-and-vanilla-bean Posted by cookinwithherbs
This syrup is very good for a sore throat, cold, or flu. It is delicious stirred into tea, lemonade, or other juices to make a fruit punch, tossed with fruit salad, and drizzled over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. It also makes an exceptional homemade ginger ale. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6692/exotic-ginger-syrup-with-lemon-herbs-and-vanilla-bean Fri, 21 Aug 2009 01:15:00 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6652/lemon-verbena-cookies http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6652/lemon-verbena-cookies Posted by DanielleGardenGirl

When tomatoes are ripe and in season this simple, savory soup is the perfect way to begin a meal, or to enjoy for lunch, perhaps with some bread and cheese. This is not a ho-hum, cold, watery soup; it is packed full of flavor. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6626/garden-gazpacho Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:30:00 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6593/roasted-chile-and-herb-sauce http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6593/roasted-chile-and-herb-sauce Posted by cookinwithherbs
This is a recipe using roasted chiles in a delicious South-of-the-Border green herb sauce. It has similarities to both pipián verde from Mexico and pesto from Italy, with a Southwestern touch. It is delicious on pasta, potatoes, squash, fresh sliced tomatoes, or with grilled chicken and fish, on sandwiches and wraps. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6593/roasted-chile-and-herb-sauce Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:36:15 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6194/basic-pesto-recipe http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6194/basic-pesto-recipe Posted by cookinwithherbs
Many of us use a food processor to make pesto since it's quick and easy. But for centuries, Italians have made pesto using a mortar and pestle. Pesto prepared in this manner is by far the best, as it... ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/6194/basic-pesto-recipe Fri, 12 Jun 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/5828/egg-and-cheese-puff-with-greens http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/5828/egg-and-cheese-puff-with-greens Posted by cookinwithherbs
A great brunch dish, or quick lunch or supper, this recipe is easily put together and can actually be prepared a few hours ahead of time and refrigerated. Remove from the fridge about 30 minutes before baking. The ingredients are fairly versatile. Use the best greens that you have in season; some other good choices are: spinach, baby chard, dandelion leaves, arugula, watercress, nettles (pick with gloves!), basil, dill, cilantro, etc. ]]> http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/5828/egg-and-cheese-puff-with-greens Sat, 16 May 2009 20:51:09 -0400 http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/5376/how-to-make-fruit-water http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/5376/how-to-make-fruit-water Posted by ChrisMcLaughlin
