I am just starting my garden, and would love to have a guide to reference as I watch it grow.

Udon noodle soup. Just in time for next winter! Ha.

Green Chili Stew. MMMMMMMM. Bubbly and spicy.

Roasted Red Pepper and cheese. Yum. Or add any roasted vegetable and cheese. Still Yum.

Chile pepper of course! Adds a little kick.

Dark gets me going in the morning.

Bread every week.

A classic -- Earl Grey (with milk and sugar of course).

Classic Movie Night and Dinner

A big Turkey sandwich with mayo and cranberry sauce with chips!

Dark Chocolate with Hazelnut --- actually any combination with hazelnuts.

The grill pan to grill all sorts of vegetables -- peppers, eggplant, tomatillos and onions for salsa, and on and on. I would use the heck out of it.

Delicious, delicious, minestrone.

Sangria, slurp, slurp

Red peppers of course, as well as everything else.

I just made it! Ancho Beef and Kidney Bean Chili! Yum, and probably even better in a dutch oven like that.

Chicken, green chilis and mozarella cheese on homemade bread. My favorite way to make a sandwich. Grilled.

Smoothie with delicious, creamy yogurt and fresh berries -- summer will be here soon enough.

Fresh Latkes with a mix of sour cream and apple sauce!
