ELIOOO. How to Go to IKEA® and Build a Device to Grow Food in Your Apartment. eBook: Antonio Scarponi: Kindle Store 6 Easy culinary herbs to grow from seed Even if a large vegetable garden is out of the question for you, due to lack of space or time, a culinary herb garden can provide some fresh green flavor to spice up recipes, whether it's in the yard or in a container garden. One advantage that growing herbs has over growing vegetables is that because it's usually only the leaves of the herb plants that get harvested, there's no need to wait for the plants to flower and set fruit and for the veggies to mature before harvesting, which reduces both the time and the skills necessary to cultivate them. While you can buy starts that are already growing to plant in your culinary herb garden, you can also start and grow herbs from seeds. Because I'm an advocate for doing it yourself, and learning while doing, I think that growing from seed can be a great way to get started, and can be quite a bit cheaper than buying herb starts. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Oddly Delicious: Cabbage and Eggs Cabbage and Eggs I must confess that I’ve been reluctant to share this recipe for a long time because, well, let’s just say it isn’t the most photogenic thing that I cook. However, I realized that this simple cabbage and eggs dish has become such a staple of my home court recipes that it isn’t fair to keep it from you any longer. This recipe is special for a few reasons. First, even though it may look funny it tastes (and smells) absolutely amazing. The secret is adding just a splash of soy sauce to the cooked cabbage before adding the eggs, which gives it a rich umami flavor that our mouths crave. Second, it’s surprisingly filling given that it’s just two eggs and a handful of leaves. Last, but certainly not least, how often do you get to eat (and actually enjoy) vegetables for breakfast? One final bonus is that when I use certain varietals of purple cabbage in this dish my eggs turn an almost neon blue. Serves 1 Ingredients Preparation Reduce the heat on the pan to medium.
Teacup Cake and Sugar Roses — Lulu's Sweet Secrets I love the combination between teacups and flowers. They are such a pretty and charming pair. When I ventured to make my first sugar rose I used a teacup to photograph it. At that time I received a comment suggesting that I should try to make a teacup cake too. I loved the idea but that would be a big challenge for me. Almost 2 years late I decide to give it a try. Actually, I think my main motivation was the opportunity to paint the floral theme on the teacup cake. I also used some sugar roses and mini cakes for decoration. Crushed Candy Cane Chocolate Cakes!

neuro drink with a purpose "Animal Crossing: New Leaf" Frosted Sugar Cookies Hooray for Nintendo's "Animal Crossing: New Leaf"! Food is mentioned quite often in the game and plays a major roll in your character's daily activities. You can plant and harvest fruit trees and sell the produce, fish and dive for profit as well, buy fortune cookies with special tickets inside for prizes, buy coffee for yourself and deliver coffee to other town residents, and the townsfolk talk about food often enough. It's wonderful! This is why I have my very own, super cute 3DS. B has had one for a while & I used to snag his to play my ACNL cartridge.

Oh, Ladycakes: Single serving deep dish apple pie | for Thom, with love Introducing for Thom, with love - a new series documenting the small batch recipes I create for my favorite man , chock full of love. Over the course of the past half decade, I've witnessed Thom eat his fair share of baked goods - and in the process I discovered that sometimes all he needs is a single serving of chocolate chip cookies because the man has no self control when cookies are involved. And if you leave an entire batch at his disposal, he'll eat them all and ask you to make more. The recipes, they're good. Friends, I've been saying it for years: the best way to a man's heart is, without a doubt, through his stomach. Notes: If you prefer a sweeter pie crust, feel free to increase the sugar to one full teaspoon.
