Cucumber Salad

Start with fresh cucumbers. The best ones to use are the little ones right out of the garden because they are so sweet. Peel and slice, also finely dice a white onion.

In a bowl mix the cucumbers, the onion, butter milk, White vinegar, salt and pepper, all to taste. Best if left to sit for 15 mins for the ingredients to mix together.

Easy Pesto

I picked some very fresh ingredients from my little garden to make dinner.
I used half of this habanero pepper. I like a little kick to my pesto but not super hot. a good sized bunch of fresh basil.

Only the best cheese for these fresh herbs :)


Toss it all in the food processor with a clove of garlic, salt, and fresh cracked pepper. Drizzle in olive oil and blend until creamy.



Stir into cooked linguine.
