Baby plants!

I planted some seeds two weeks ago, and now I have some baby tomatoes, dill, and basil. The basil didn't grow very well (there are only two baby basil plants right next to each other in the big pot).

I have cherry tomatoes, roma tomatoes (San Marzano on the packet), dill, and cinnamon basil. Cinnamon basil sounded really interesting, and since I can never have enough basil, I bought the seeds.

How to use a bamboo steamer

I bought this bamboo steamer a while ago on Amazon. When I was looking to purchase it, I had a lot of trouble understanding whether I needed to buy something else besides the steamer itself. A few weeks ago, someone asked if I had found any pictures to help me (since that's what I commented on in the review).

So anyway, here's how I use my steamer! I use it all the time to make Trader Joe's frozen wontons and sometimes for veggies like broccoli. Here's my how to:

Place the steamer into a wok or electric skillet filled with about and inch of water (I use an old electric skillet). You don't need a rack or anything underneath, the bottom of the steamer is elevated from the water.

Red Flannel Hash

I made Cooking Light's Red Flannel Hash the other day! It was DELICIOUS! And the best part is that I made 4 servings, so I ate one, had leftovers for lunch two days later, and froze the rest.

Here's the recipe: Cooking Light link. I followed the recipe exactly.

I wasn't really sure how to shred beets, so I used the food processor. Look at all that red!
