Sounds delicious!
These are a few of the healthy foods you'll find if you explore the beauty and diversity of diets enjoyed around the world. You'll also find them all in a local community garden!
You can check out this link for more about that: (a great article on the "10 Healthiest Ethnic Cuisines").
The days have been lovely out in the garden. Cool mornings give way to summery afternoons and we leave the garden with overflowing bags of fresh veggies. Today's discovery: lemon basil! It looks and smells a bit like lemon verbena but with the wonderful sweetness of basil. We were thinning things out in the fairy garden and enjoying an amazing lemony aroma coming from what we thought might be lemon balm. When we looked for a plant marker we were surprised to discover that lemon basil was the source of our enjoyment! Just another unexpected delight and one of many in the garden!
You can find a recipe for lemon basil herbed rice here: click for link. It sounds like a great side dish to serve with a local veggie stir fry. (And if you need some lemon basil for your meal you can always stop by the garden to get some!). :)
We need to get a picture of that dish to post (please share one if you try it) so for now here are a few recent pictures of the garden:
