While a few garden members seem to know how to grow and cook just about everything, most of us are greenhorns. Thanks to the constant sharing that goes on, however, our recipe boxes stay full and the crops grow despite our less-than-green thumbs!
Please keep sending your favorite links and recipes to info@simplegiftsgarden.org, and we’ll add them to this page. Please include a title for the dish, a photo, and either a link to the recipe or a concise recipe as an attached pdf document.
