Assembling a gluten free pie is like assembling a pie on a crust of tissue paper, but this apple streusel and pumpkin duo is now in the oven (after sprinkling streusel all over my oven door, thorough cleaning after today.)

I haven’t felt much like cooking these past few days. I’m thankful my garden keeps handing me these small reminders that there’s still so much beauty in the world even when my spirits are low.

A lot went wrong today, but this went right: a vegan and gluten free pot pie, with a filling that simmers in the crock pot and then can be spooned into a dish and topped with standard pie crust, biscuit dough, or in this case: a vegan and gluten free puff pastry.

offerings from pax culina – the peace kitchen: garden basil pesto and rice bake with chickpeas and broccoli, and carrot ribbon salad dressed in fire cider vinaigrette

I made these for a friend who’s considering a run for the local library board, so she can have a little time back to think and plan.

One last bounty from the garden. So very thankful and grateful. #garden #vegetablegarden #gardensofbluesky

I’ve been quiet here because we’re doing a full remodel of our kitchen, but I took time to make this quick rustic peach/pecan/maple pastry today. I hope you were able to take a moment to do something you love today as well. #baking #glutenfree #plantbased #food

Threw this together last night: gluten free sweet potato gnocchi with marinated beans. We have a big sweet potato patch in the backyard, hoping it gives us a good yield. 🍠

Taking a break from my usual #cooking content to talk about #sexualhealth - I believe in pleasure activism, and part of feeling good is staying as healthy as you can. I get tested every six months minimum. If I have a new partner, I’m also happy to go test for their comfort level.

My tallest sunflower finally bloomed a few days ago - she’s ten feet tall, and I adore her. She’s stopped now but here she was still climbing high.

Food from today and yesterday: grilled pizza and eggplant, a broccoli leaf greens-dressed pasta, a chickpea and tomato stew, and then a baked veggie and rare meat sighting, of humanely raised pork from my family’s farm, with layers of a rich tomato and pepper sauce woven in. #food #foodsky #chef

Stop scrolling for a minute and look at this bountiful herb harvest 🌿

Will you have a mindfulness moment with me?

Unstuffed eggplant on the grill tonight for our friend-family, because community is resistance, friends. 🫶🏽

Except for the onions and garlic, everything was grown by our community!

Whipped up this fresh summer squash soup just now and it may be my best yet, should it go on the blog next? #food #foodsky #cooking #soup

paxculina.org is now live, and I hope you’ll go take a look at what we’re about - along with our pax culina house pickle recipe 🥒

Perfect for when you have cucumbers multiplying at somewhat alarming rates, as we do. This brine also works a treat to pickle peppers 🌶️

Did you make something today?

I made four quarts of refrigerator pickles.

#picklesky (is that trending yet?

Our community act of care last week was packing up some mochi waffles so locals running a camp for kids could get refueled 💪🏻

Wanna follow our model? Cook meals. Make extra. Give it away. Be strategic, or don’t. Have a conversation. Be an encouraging voice. And feed your friends.

I served this #salad - of vegetables I grew - alongside pizza I pulled out of the freezer. #balance

The tomatoes are starting to get their first blush, so we had to get a batch of fried green tomatoes while we could! #paxculina #plantbased #vegan #glutenfree #chefsofbluesky #garden #vegetablegarden #gardenersofbluesky

Summer is in full swing in the kitchen and garden. Made a 🍉 watermelon salad last with agave, lime, and mint.

And my Arkansas strawberry tomato is finally ripening!

I’m not Peter Piper but I picked some peppers and developed this Sweet and Tangy Quick Pickled Peppers recipe. I’ll be posting it on the pax culina blog, launching soon! #gardenersofbluesky #chefsofbluesky #growyourown #food #plantbased #pickles

A little #harvest photo from yesterday, featuring French breakfast radishes, a tiny baby squash plucked to make room for others, a sizable zucchini that appeared out of nowhere, jalapeños, the first tiny cucumber, and some adorably oversized cherry tomatoes. 🍅 #garden #vegetablegarden

Our #garden has had so many pollinators! The bees are really loving this monstrous cucumber that’s trying to take over an entire corner of the garden. 🥒 🐝 #vegetablegarden #gardensofbluesky #gardenersofbluesky #bloomscrolling #pollinators
