Made stinging nettle puree to freeze for future fun projects like nettle pasta and crepes.
Nettles add nutrients, color, and unique flavor for maximum food fun! Blanch 1 min, ice bath, drainage, blend, freeze.

Wild garlic and cheese wholemeal spelt soda bread. What a mouthful, and a very tasty mouthful too.

Stir fry with shrimp, mushrooms, stir fry veg mix, foraged nettle, dandelion greens, cleavers and plantain. Yummy food 😋

Made a start on cracking me nuts 😂
Walnuts collected in a local park last yr. Healthy and about as organic as you can get.
I collected a few a day over a few weeks and plenty were left for the squirrels - in fact they, quite rightly, beat me to it mostly :-)

Beautyberry jam! Made several jars, of course, the one with very little in it was just what was left, so that’s just bonus for me! I had a couple piece of toast with it, and it’s so good! 🖤

It’s mushroom season!
Found a bunch of puffballs and honey mushrooms this weekend. I love the treasure hunt of finding wild food.
We made stir fries and rice paper dumplings.

Harvested edible chicken-of-the-woods bracket fungus on my table, it has light, soft orange upper part of mushroom shelves and soft yellow under.
It came home! 😊 Thanks to a my tall brother-in-law. (I'm 1.58m, almost everyone around is tall.) #ChickenOfTheWoods #mushroom #WildFood #ForagedFood #dinner #foodsky #sērapiepe #ForestFinds #forager #goodfood

🦋Blue Pool🦋 One of the treats served at the Blue Pool picnic: blueberry cake cooked in blown, dyed, and sterilized eggshells! I also had blue cornbread and violet panna cotta, as well as edible little blue butterflies! #bluefood #foraging #foragedfood #wildfood #misswondersmith
Angel hair pasta topped with sauteed chanterelle mushrooms, frenched green beans, and garlic, plus a sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese, served in a blue willow patterned bowl.
Green beans and garlic from the garden, chanterelles from the woods. Sautéed in olive oil and butter, with a little salt and pepper and parmesan cheese. Pretty darn tasty. #ForagedFood #garden #GrowYourOwn #SmallFarmLife #dinner
Found frozen chanterelles? Whip up a creamy mushroom pie in your airfryer – quick, frugal, and totally delicious. 🍄

The first #Beech leaves have appeared (albeit 10 days later than last year)… They’re excellent as an addition to a salad whilst pale, fresh and new!

Crispy bread with greens, cheese, and pink pickled magnolia flowers
A plate of food with bread, fried ramps, and a white sauce
A jar of pickled magnolia leaves with a chopstick inside. In the background is more food
Yesterday’s foraged meal for my friends! The ramp pesto SLAPPED!!
It’s bread with ramp pesto, garden greens (chicory, dandelion, and spinach), mozzarella, and pickled magnolia flower!
Also fried ramps! Those were just “okay” to me…

Made nettle pesto with the nettles I foraged today on the way to the hands off protest. It was delicious on potato salad with fresh garden herbs! Thank you, forest! <3 #foraging #foragedfood #wildfood #nettles #nettlepesto
Hands Off protest in Lake City NE Seattle-I especially love the monarch butterfly lady, who kindly held my forest sign for a photo. The only monarch we need, indeed! Two Silken windhounds showed up, too. :) #handsoffprotests #handsoffourforests #protectors #nettles #foraging #foragedfood #wildfood
Magnolia petals in a bowl of water
Magnolia “ginger snap” cookies stacked on a plate
I made some magnolia cookies today following @blackforager.bsky.social ‘s recipe! They turned out SO YUMMMYYY!! The magnolia jam on the inside is the ✨best✨
I also made magnolia pickles but I haven’t tried them yet! 🌸

Making purple dead nettle and cleavers vinegar, yay foraging! Also put some flower baskets on outside my mom's window. #foraging #foragedfood #wildfood #wildfoodlove #forager #deadnettle #purpledeadnettle #herbalmagic #herbalist
Forage pesto with nettles, dandelion greens, dead nettle, and mint from the windowsill. Added toasted walnuts, garlic, parmesan, salt, pepper and oil. It's amazing.

Unwanted guest versus culinary delight, the dandelion's journey is one of ironic beauty. A symbol of #resilience, a benefit to pollinators, and a spring salad's secret ingredient. #Gardening #Dandelion #Wildflower #SpringFlowers #Photography #NaturePhotography #EdibleFlowers #ForagedFood
