Roasted Brussel Sprouts & Raisins

I washed and cut these brussel sprouts, tossed them with a little salt, pepper, garlic & olive oil, then baked them at 350 until they were soft. I added the raisins and continued to cook only a few minutes until they were warm. Absolute hit!

Harvesting Carrots

A couple of weeks ago, she & I woke up early, went out to the garden, and had a blast harvesting these beautiful baby carrots. We steamed some later and she loved eating them. The rest were incorporated into little apple-carrot popsicles....

"We cannot create observers by saying 'observe,' but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and these means are procured through education of the senses."

Purple Asparagus & Butternut Squash

Today I steamed purple asparagus and butternut squash for the little ones and they loved it! I added a couple sage leaves from the garden while steaming, and a little cinnamon sugar before serving.

Prickly Cucumbers

This afternoon, I took the little ones out to check on our cucumber plants. They enjoyed touching the cucumbers which are still a little prickly and unripe.
