Growing your own food with the help of Miracle-Gro!

Do you know what I love about summer apart from the warm temps?? I love gardening and growing my own bounty of fruits and vegetables. Granted, NL isn't the ideal place to grow a lot of things, but that doesn't deter me from growing my own favorites even in limited spaces! Even better than growing your own fresh fruits and vegetables is cooking with them! Just think how healthy it is to cook from your own garden, knowing exactly what's gone into them.

My Ayurvedic Herbal Tea:

I drink this Ayurvedic concoction each day to keep my digestive fires going. I've found that this tea really helps, especially in the fall and the winter season. For more information, please consult the links below.

Roast equal amounts of Cumin, Fennel and Ajwain Seeds and powder them in your coffee grinder. You may omit the Ajwain seeds if you like. Add an equal amount of Ginger Powder to it and mix well. For variety, I also add some cinnamon, black pepper or cardamom.

Store in an airtight container.

To Prepare: Boil some water and add some of this mix and let it sit for 5 minutes and sip slowly. You may add some lemon juice or honey for flavor. Be sure to add the honey when the water is warm. Drink throughout the day to keep snack cravings away!

Get to know: Port Wine

port = port wine Notes: This is a sweet Portuguese fortified wine that's sipped as an after-dinner drink, or used as a cooking ingredient. Vintage ports are the best, but they are very expensive. The sediment at the bottom of the bottle is a sign of quality. Crusted or late-bottled vintage ports are both less expensive and less elegant. Cheaper yet are the lighter and fruitier wood ports, which include the tawny ports and the lowly ruby ports. Wood ports don't age well in the bottle, so try to drink them within a year or two of purchase. Once opened, port should be consumed within a week or so and stored in the refrigerator. Substitutes: Madeira OR dry vermouth OR black muscat wine (like port, this goes well with chocolate) OR Banyuls (like port, this goes well with chocolate) OR unsweetened fruit juice OR (in meat-based sauces) beef or chicken stock
