Looks so yummy. My cilantro is gone already. I have lots of seeds though. ;o)

Good looking garden. Or maybe I should say plants since there is no overview here but to me the plants make the garden and when you eat them too...... Perfect!
Isn't eating from your own garden wonderful?

WOW! What a great meal! The home-made empanadas sound
deee-lish!!!

Growing your own dinner is just so rewarding!

The bananas look great too!

looks yummy :-)

Silvia---Not only does the food look great but that is a really attractive zinnia. Keep the pictures coming...I love to see them.

My husband and I enjoyed the Pavlova Roll recipe that you sent. It just so happened that I had all of the ingredients on hand to make it without having to go to the store. I will be making this recipe again. Since we will be getting chickens (for eggs) soon, this will be a tasty way to use up a few eggs. Sometimes I may make it with ripe fruit from the yard. Blueberries, persimmons, figs, pineapples...

Have you tried to grow culantro? It takes the heat and taste similar. I have my cilantro on different spots. Around the herb garden close to the house. And under a little bit of shade from the Loquat,planted with peppers, sunflowers and bronze fennel.

The best part is the finish product. We should aim at eating fresh from the garden. Everyday! Good for us.
You even got fresh fish!

The empanadas are Argentinian style. One of the good parts is the dough, made with milk and baked. The filling was so delicious and I use all the onions pictured, white and green parts. The hot sauce was the perfect compliment.

I can tell you is yummy! I made two big trays. One for us and other went to a game night.

Christine
That is the idea. To prepare our produce the best possible way. Get to enjoy what our gardens produce.
Good idea about the pavlova and using other fresh fruit.
Silvia

I love empanadas ("empanadillas" my wife calls them). Those look awesome. I really like the zinnia too. You're inspiring me to put more and more flowers in the vegetable garden.

Bill

Silvia, you're amazing, we've all benefited from Willy and you joining this forum! I want to make some empanadas; can you send me some instructions?

Tom

Hi Bill
Flowers and vegetables make the garden happy. Remember the tomato garden planted with wildflowers? It is an explosion of color now, everything is blooming!
And Bill, everybody who tries a good empanada, loves them.

Hi Tom
When you and Cathy want to come and visit us, I will make empanadas.
My favorite are made with a dough made of plantains. We had a friend from Argentina yesterday and I ask her, what did you think of the empanada dough and filling? (Of course she wouldn't know about the hot sauce.)
She said,"the filling is the same like I make, but I don't make the dough, I buy it from the A. restaurant. But yours was much better.

I am sending the recipe, if you want to feel adventurous!

Silvia

I am sending the recipe

Thanks Silvia, we'll give it a try and I'll get back to you with the results. Have fun at the Deland swap next weekend, I wish we were going but we have another commitment.
