Angela, how do you make your green smoothies? I’m always looking for more smoothie ideas. Did they put peppermint flavoring in them? Would that work with kale? I’m willing to try it if you don’t know…

Everything looks delicious! We’ve been on a kale smoothie kick since they served them at school for St. Patty’s Day.

Suzanne, I can probably suggest local resources for your recipes, I’d love to have you do a post! Just let me know.
Rebecca, I work from home so I can do stuff like start making bread in the morning since I know I’ll be in and out or here. If I worked outside the home I would be squeezing all that in on the weekends which would cut into everything else. I also try to focus on the kids between after school & dinner time so they don’t need as much of my time on the weekends and evenings as they would if I work. And honestly everything else I do in the middle of the night instead of sleeping like I should which is why I got so sick this winter…but I don’t watch any tv or keep my house spit spot clean which gives me more time too. ;p

Kanani, I definitely eat the bolted broccoli! I grew sprouting broccoli so it wasn’t really bolting. The collards, on the other hand and now the lacinato kale are bolting like crazy. I still eat them but the leaves aren’t as sweet once the plant starts putting energy into flower production.

CityHippyFarmGirl, glad you stopped by! Where are you located? I couldn’t tell for sure from your blog but I was guessing the UK.

I laughed when I saw the sausage with the pickled pepper and mache on the side… because we had that same meal last week too! Only I just purchased my sausages but the menu was almost exactly the same minus the beer and saur kraut.

Everything looks enticeingly yummy.

About the bolting broccolo -last year i learned that if your broccoli gets past the “florets” stage & has stretched out into long stalks with little yellow flowers, you can cut off the stalks & use them & the flowers in salads. Or stand in the garden & graze.

Slightly spicy, but pretty & fun

So, what I would like to know is how on earth you find time to do all this and be a working Mom too! Maybe sometime you can post about time management….
