Roasted Peeps
As Easter draws closer and all the pastel candy starts crowding the supermarket and drugstore shelves, consider buying some Peeps for a Peep Roast. They are marshmallows. With sugar on top!

Edible Petals
Spring is finally here, and I’ve been spending every free moment planting colorful new additions in my yard. This year I thought I’d try to grow some edible flowers in the half wine barrel on my deck. I started poking around online and found almost too much information, but a lot of inspiration as well. I knew about nasturtiums and mustard blooms, but daisies and gladiolus? Turns out there are lots of flowers that offer more than a pretty face. What are some of your favorite things to do with edible petals?
