Pennycress honey mustard

October 7, 2012 Erica M. Davis 6 Comments

I’ve done it, Igor! I’ve created a recipe to deal with that monster who’s been pounding down my door for one. Namely, my mom. My mom is a pennycress honey mustard-eating monster. My idea for field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) honey mustard was born first of an attempt to make … [Read more...]

Finely chopped dandelion crowns, leaf stalks, and leaves. Note all the pretty colors!

Collecting dock and dandelions has become almost second nature to me this season. I use ‘em up and then when I’m out walking the dogs I notice a dandelion here or a dock patch there, snip or pull and voila—they’re in my bag and back to the house at the ready for whenever I need … [Read more...]
