The rising price of gas is effecting everything in our life from airline ticket prices to the price of food in the grocery store.  Perhaps it is time to go back to the way of our grandmothers and look to our garden to feed our families.  I have fond memories of working with my grandfather in the garden and then with my grandmother in the kitchen snapping beans and canning those vegetables we didn’t immediately eat. 

I took a look around the “net” to find a few sites offering recipes using the food harvested from our gardens. 

Keeping the Castle offers 50 Spring Recipes using the “fruits of our labor.”

Gardening Tips had a whole lists of resources and recipes to help you feed your family from your garden crops.

Check out these French recipes using ordinary garden fare.  It doesn’t have to be yellow bean cooked in peppered milk and served in a little side dish - you can really get “restaurant” creative with the foods from your garden.

What’s your favorite garden recipe?
