Sweet Local Farm

On Sunday we had guests over for brunch. We drank sparkling Mimosas and spicy Bloody Mary cocktails. Our hens continue to lay throughout the winter, so we had plenty of eggs for some delicious omelettes.

I made my own vegetarian Bloody Mary mix:

It has been an amazing month. We got married, saw many friends and family, and have been busy workin on the farm. In farm news, our hens are laying! Other than my chicken’s eggs I am vegan, so I haven’t eaten an egg in a long time.

Here are our beautiful brown eggs:

Our garden is feeding us:

Luke picked baby squash, zucchini, and squash blossoms:

We diced herbs and mixed them with vegan cream cheese:

Luke carefully stuffed each bossom:

Here are the blossoms all stuffed:

We battered them in a mixture of flour and beer and deep fried them:

They stayed warm in the oven:

Fried Zucchini Flower:

We ate fried squash blossoms in Sicily. They are such a seasonal treat. The filling made them so rich and flavorful. If you have a garden, try to make this!
