Delishytown

Cooking is fun. Eating is funner. I cook, photograph and write these recipes.
Everything I post on this blog I make from scratch using fresh wholesome ingredients. I've been cooking since I was a little kid.

My recipes are based on trial and error, along with studying cookbooks, family recipes, blogs and cooking shows.

Some of the veggies and herbs I use are grown in my garden.
I'm working on a Delishytown cookbook, what!? and I recently started working as a professional food photographer. Yay employment.

My other job is garden designer and I love it. I'm helping as many people as I can to plant edibles in their yards. Sustainability is delicious.

    Strawberry & Garbanzo Bean Salad

    This salad was inspired by my friend Jen who said she forgot a salad just like this on her kitchen counter when she left for work. I’ve been thinking about a healthy strawberry and garbanzo salad ever since.

    Most of the greens in this delicious slaw salad were grown in our front garden. We have Romaine, green curly kale, Lacinato kale, Radicchio, and strawberries growing up there. I like to grow a variety of greens because if one of them bolts and becomes bitter, I still have others I can enjoy. 

    I harvest two or three outer leaves from each plant, leaving the center leaves growing for next time. Kales and lettuces grow pretty quickly and if you have a lot of different kinds of plants growing in your garden, you can harvest from one day to the next without running out of fresh greens.  

    Harvest wash and spin any greens you have growing. Rub a salad bowl with a cut garlic clove. Make a dressing by combining 2 tblsp. red wine vinegar, the juice of 1 tangerine, ¼ tsp dijon mustard, a big drizzle of honey, a pinch of dill, celery salt and pepper, and olive oil. Toss the chopped garden greens along with any other fresh vegetables you have on hand. I used shredded carrots and green cabbage from the crisper drawer. Add 1 can rinsed and drained organic garbanzo beans. Garnish with sesame seeds and strawberry slices. Yum!
