Rosemary red soup, Dill bread

Mmmm homemade goodness. I am so proud of this meal. Something about cooking so much food from my own garden and the deliciousness and beauty of this meal was tremendously enjoyable for me.
Dill bread recipe and pictures on Smitten Kitchen. I varied the recipe a bit using onion and grated zucchini as well as fresh oregano, basil, parsley and a little bit of dried dill:

Harvest time!

I am so happy to have food to eat out of my garden. This is a new experience for me, to have grown my own food seed to table. My grandfather had an amazing garden and my own mom grew some food on our yard, so I did grow up eating some garden fresh foods, but the enjoyment, satisfaction and feeling of accomplishment doing it myself is tremendous! So far we have lettuce, carrots, snap peas, and beets. I did see some broccoli peeking out yesterday, as well. Yum!

Watermelon

Cute, huh? An addition to Josie bean's knit kitchen. And easy and SO FAST!
Here is the pattern link: http://halls7thheaven.blogspot.com/2009/07/watermelon-slice-knitting-pattern.html I couldn't decide on colors, so I did a couple variations, but I think I like the dark one better.

Baby headband

I needed a girlie, cute and quick little project for a friend having a baby girl next month... turned out adorable I think! I wish I had had one of these for my super bald little girl, maybe then fewer people would have mistaken her for a boy :-)

Knit tunic

I love this little tunic I just finished for my Josie. Very sweet, easy and cute. Find that pattern on Ravelry here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fionas-top

Ice Cream

I having been wishing for an ice cream maker since last summer. Finally, I have it and am having a great time trying out recipes!
The first one was Chocolate Raspberry, a dairy free recipe made with coconut milk base. Today, Creme Fraiche, which is even better in my opinion.

Nut Burgers

Tonight, a salad made with the first tiny mesclun lettuce starts I thinned out of the garden, sweet potato fries and the delicious and nutritious NUT BURGERS! This is a seriously good recipe: http://www.cookusinterruptus.com/index.php?video_id=128
