The paintings in this video are available through Earth Angels Studios.  There will be more fall treats coming soon on my website.  

This evening I made this delicious watermelon and cucumber salad from the cookbook Kale and Caramel.  So delicious with pumpkin seed and Thai basil lime dressing on top and scattered toasted pumpkin seeds.

Nasturtium flowers are easy to grow here in the Midwest, USA.  They really are effortless, provide nectar and pollen for bees and butterflies, and both leaves and flowers are edible. I find there is no need to spray them either, so they are totally organic and pesticide free. Here are a couple ideas.  The first is just as a garnish for almost anything.  Here with vanilla ice cream.  I've also put them on cakes, salads, and omelettes. Here is a video of me making the top dish of Nasturtium Dolmas found on the On Vegetables cook book by Jeremy Fox.  

Treats from the local farmer's market.  

Made these loverly scone yesterday.  Found the recipe here. Here is a video of my process.  (I made a few ingredient changes.) <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rEQ7GET0DbY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
