Roasted Potatoes

  • Yukon Gold Potatoes (2 lbs for 6 people) quartered or cut into pieces                                                                   
  • 4 T of No Salt blend

Spray a cookie sheet with a no stick spray
Place potatoes in a single layer on the cookie sheet, sprinkle with No Salt blend and roast for 45 minutes at 350. Move around  to keep from sticking.

Roasted Elephant Garlic

  • 1 fist of elephant garlic
  • 1T of virgin Olive oil

Preheat oven to 350. Place whole fist, or loose cloves, in a baking dish (or garlic roaster) drizzle with oil and cover with foil. Bake for 45 min. or until cloves are soft. When cool, snip the tip off the cloves and use a knife to remove the softened garlic and spread it on crackers, bread etc.

Comfrey Tea

While not the normal recipe you might expect on a recipe page and definitely not taken internally- I call this my magic elixir. Many of you have told me that you drink Comfrey Tea and it has health benefits. It does, however it is now on the NOT to be taken internally list. It can cause problems in animals ( including us) so we only use it after it has decomposed but is still full of all its goodness.

We do not use any chemical fertilizers in the garden- only Comfrey Tea. This amazing plant is a bio-activator and speeds up decomposition and metabolism, perfect if you have a compost pile. If you want to add it to your pile, then plant one Comfrey near it, cut the leaves and add them to your pile and watch your pile cook. We do this, however for a quick jolt to refresh plants in the garden we make a liquid version.

Fill a 5 gallon bucket with comfrey leaves and water- as many leaves as you can. Allow it to decompose- time varies with the temperature,  it will be a lot quicker in the heat of the summer. When it has turned into a brown gelatinous mess, and the odor isn't too offensive, place one cup to 2 gallons and stir. We water everything in the garden ONCE a year with this mixture. 

Once you try it you will not go back to any kind of man-made chemical fertilizer and your plants, and the critters in the garden, will love you for it.
