Apple blossoms. I'm passionate about good food, and good food is easy when you have fresh, local ingredients. I love learning about how food is grown and where it came from.
.
We visited @blossom_hill_orchard today for the beautiful apple blooms. The blooms are not as full this year due to the winter frost a few weeks ago, said Hillary.
.
It was still beautiful. The bees were busy pollinating, the trees are alive with blossoms, the goats were happily clearing the lasts of the dandelion in their fence.
.
We talked about the things they've done and things they are planning on doing, changing their business model to pivot during COVID, and after COVID.
.
To me, eating local is important for so many reasons. These are the people I can purchase directly and see where my food is grown. They also taste SO MUCH better and fresher. I can never have a grocery store apple again.
.
If you've never had an apple straight from the tree, you're missing out! You might be able to pick your own this fall at @blossom_hill_orchard 🍎
.
The drive down today was absolutely gorgeous, and @knot.woodpecker got some local apple wood to play with! 😍 BONUS! He'll be saving me some wood chips to smoke things with 😜
.
Tomorrow: @rochfarmmkt 7:30-12:00, Eat Local. 🌱

Lots to celebrate today! A sneak peek of @ootorisushi photoshoot, @rochfarmmkt is still open, a non-traditional alleyway graduation, and the birthday of @lauramaefly ♥️😍😘
.
This day last year is definitely different, but I'm embracing the change and living the best life. 🙌
.
Great food, friends, and smiles. Life's not so bad. Enjoy the little but important things. ♥️
.
We'll hang out, laugh harder, and stuff our faces together when this is all over.

Love you all.

Eat fresh, local, and the invasive! I learned about garlic mustard last year, it's a very invasive plant growing everywhere here in MN. I pulled some and made a pesto out of it.
.
Served it with @knot.woodpecker's sourdough bread and everyone LOVED it! Seriously, it's so good.
.
It's hard to get rid of invasive plants, but if it's delicious, why not eat them and help the environment in the process?
.
Im about to walk to our backyard, pull some more garlic mustard and make this yummy dish for dinner. 😍
.

it's spring! Fiddleheads are popping up and did you know they are super yuuuum? .
I shared a recipe last year for fiddleheads and people RAVED about it.
.
This is a tried and true, super easy fiddlehead salad. Nothing like most recipes available online, this recipe is crisp, flavorful, nutty yet refreshing. It truly celebrates the flavor and texture of fiddlehead and spring!

Happy cinco de mayo. Celebrate the little things, something I learned growing up in Taiwan. We celebrate all the foreign holidays in our own ways just to have fun and live in the moment, that's how I feel about Cinco de mayo in Minnesota.
.
Make it authentic, or just have some sort of mex-fusion food and have fun. ♥️
.
Our plan today? @tacojed parking lot social-distancing party!
