Tumbleweed two ways

June 29, 2025 Erica M. Davis Leave a Comment

Do prickly tumbleweeds pile on your house or nearby fence lines? If so, dinner may be close by. Before the spines firm up, you can boil the green shoots and tender branch tips of the developing plants for a mild, spinach-like green. Our prickly tumbleweeds belong to plants … [Read more...]

May 29, 2024 Erica M. Davis 4 Comments

This stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) soup is quick, easy to make, and full of flavor. A lot of nettle soups are made with potato but I think the nettle flavor is more noticeable without, so I use cauliflower for the creamy consistency instead. The recipe is vegan, oil-free, … [Read more...]

The delicious ‘wild wonderberry’

October 1, 2019 Erica M. Davis 37 Comments

I am just back from the Midwest Wild Harvest Festival, where a big bowl of black nightshade berries (Solanum nigrum complex) dressed the banquet table at Friday’s annual wild potluck. Foragers there are well-versed in the edibility of these diminutive wild treats, which are in … [Read more...]
