Spring has sprung and so have the dandilions all over town!! There are fequently dandilion flowers in my hair or sunhat, the girls love to pick them. But they also know that the greens are editable and yummy to boot! So the kids have cleaned out our yard a couples times and then last night they brought in a very large harvest and exictedly told me, "Tim let us pull all the dandilions out of his yard! He doesn't WANT them!!!" He He our neighbors most likely are now completly convinsed that we are loony! But this morning we enjoyed them in our dandilion & kale hash! We have also enjoyed a few green smoothies with them too! Now if only we had those lovely wild ramps we could find in our yard in CT. Yummmm!
Anything good foraged in your yard this spring?
What is the green shake on the left? A dandelion shake? Hmmm... I never tried dandelion greens but they're on my list of great foods for diabetics from my doc. we have alot of the wild ramps this year, mostly on that little skinny side of the house, but we haven't pulled any out yet. Love, Lisa
ReplyDeleteYou're awesome! My mom harvested my dandelion greens once when she visited. We don't seem to get greens on ours. They are just stems and flowers.
ReplyDeleteOur yard has plenty of dandelions. I have never tried them. Aren't they part of the same family as Arugula? We should try them. Right now Ryder is into making dandelion bouquets. We will have to try some.
