Sow and Grow

There’s something special about walking through my garden and thinking, “What can I make with this?” As things begin to ripen and fill out—tomatoes, green beans, herbs, and more—I find myself dreaming up all kinds of fresh dishes I’d love to try.

Here are a few meals and snacks on my garden-inspired wish list:

🍅 Fresh Tomato Salad – Sliced tomatoes with basil, olive oil, and a sprinkle of sea salt.

🧈 Herb Butter – Chopped parsley, dill, and thyme mixed into soft butter for fresh bread.

🫘 Garlic Green Beans – Crisp-tender beans tossed in garlic and a splash of lemon juice.

🫑 Pickled Peppers – A little tangy, a little spicy, perfect for topping sandwiches or snacking.

🥒 Cucumber Water or Salad – So cooling and light on a hot summe

I haven’t made all of these yet, but just imagining them is part of the joy. The garden isn’t just for growing—it’s for inspiring what happens in my kitchen, too.

What are you making from your garden right now? Drop a comment—I’d love to hear your ideas and favorite summer recipes!

Happy harvesting and happy cooking,
