Cooking with herbs

Eat those Dandelions!

Debra Hultgren

Right in the yard is a powerful source of nutrition and "free" food.  I am pleased to see that the maligned Dandelion has fans all over the world.  Once we stop trying to murder it and everything around it with herbicides, we have a potentially unlimited resource for food, nutrition and medicine.  I will post recipes I make up as the season progresses but there are already many wonderful sites out on the web with dandelion recipes. Here are some below that you can check out:
