Veggie update!

What made me happy today? Seeing how well my indoor garden is doing!
If you remember, a while ago I posted this. I promised I would keep you all updated on how the vegetables do. So today I'm keeping that promise!




My peppers, radishes, tomatoes and beans have all started growing! Yay! Now I'm hoping they'll give me some nice and tasty home grown food :-) but I might have to wait a few lonths for that.

Happy kitchen accident

What made me happy today? Having one of my happy kitchen accidents.
I was making stuffing for gorditas today. Just pretty basic stuff: mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, kidney beans, vegetarian alternative to ground beef, fajita sauce, corn. And I added a can of white beans in tomato sauce by mistake. I thought it was a can of corn... But turns out it was a great idea to toss in those beans, because this stuff is darn tasty!

Want to make this yourself? It's super easy: just get the ingredients mentioned ab ove, cook them, add the sauce and viola! Serve in gorditas, with some sour cream, grated cheese and other things you like.

Grow your own veggies!

What made me happy today? Planting some seeds to grow my own vegetables!
It's the start of spring today, although you wouldn't notice it by looking out the window ;-) but it seemed to be the perfect time to plant some seeds!
Even though I have a garden, I don't use it to grow vegetables in it. I only rent this place and can thus not change anything in the garden. I do have a cherry tree, which I'm really happy about, as I love cherries. I eat a lot of vegetables, and grew up eating mostly home-grown vegetables.
I noticed that I actually have a lot of space on my windowsills. After some research I found out that a lot of vegetables and herbs can be grown indoors as well. Decision made. I went out and got some soil, pots and two kinds of seeds. Today I planted peppers and radishes. I'm curious to see if and how they'll grow.
Besides, planting and growing my own vegetables made me happy for some reason. I'm growing plants :-) Of course, I'll keep you updated on the progress the plants make!
