Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes

These stuffed tomatoes are sure to be a hit!  Stuffed with wholesome brown rice, homemade cheese (see previous recipe) and fresh herbs, they make an excellent appetizer or snack. They impress even more when the tomatoes are homegrown!

Easy Homemade Cheese

Fresh cheese is a wonderful treat, and making homemade cheese never fails to make me feel pretty darn proud of myself.  Like the vast majority of my recipes, there is a lot of room for personalization.  It comes together in a snap, it typically wows a crowd, and its versatility makes it a great starting point for a lot of other recipes.  The best part about this cheese is its simplicity.  The basic cheese only has two ingredients.  Seriously.  Two.  You read that right.

Gardening

Chives and Strawberries - so low maintenance!

Salutations, Dear Readers.  Since we are in planting season, I thought I would do a snippet on growing edibles.  My favorite way to get fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruits is to grow them myself.  If you think you don't have enough space, think again!  Container gardening is a great, low-maintenance way to grow your edible plants.  If you have the space, that's awesome too--use it!  There are tons of creative ways to grow pretty much anything with any amount of space.

Roasted Chickpeas

This is one of the most addicting, irresistible snacks in my book.  Chickpeas are good for fiber, protein, and other nutrients.  Made this way, they are packed with flavor, with crispy outsides and creamy insides.  They are super easy to make too!

Rosemary Pork Chops and Potatoes

This is a very simple and flavorful recipe that is a nice standby.  The ingredients come together in a snap and the end result is very tasty!  I don't have measurements below because I don't measure, I just kind of add ingredients to taste.
