in my kitchen

:: in my kitchen ::

Our long weekend has afforded me the luxury of spending a little more time than usual in the kitchen. Since we gave up desserts for Lent I haven't been doing much baking but I think this week the girls will need a little something sweet. It will be a real test for me. ( I have a terrible sweet tooth) But this weekend we were making all kinds of great things...

Goat Cheese, Mushroom, and Onion Tart 

 Bread 

Orange Candle: Courtesy of my e-course Apothecary Circle 

Herbal Tinctures: Rosemary, Lavender, and Comfrey 

A recipe to share: Mango Salsa

Ingredients: 

1 ripe Mango (peeled, pitted, and diced) 

1 jalapeno (seeded, ribbed, and minced)

1/2 onion chopped 

1/2 cucumber (peeled, seeded, and diced)

Juice of one or two limes (depending on your taste)

1 TBSP. chopped cilantro ( or more if you desire) 

Salt & Pepper

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and allow them to marinate for at least an hour. We served this with crusted Tilapia.
