The week in food

The past week has been full of food:

-finally mastered the art of marmalade, and made 6 pints with meyer lemons from my parents' trees, and one lemon from my very own baby lemon tree.

-amazing homemade yogurt, following MamaSoule's tutorial:

-found a new favorite soup that the whole family loves- Butternut Squash Pear soup from Denise Jardine's new book, The Dairy-Free & Gluten-Free Kitchen. (I am neither but partner and child are gluten intolerant.) It's a pureed soup, and I'm thinking it would also make really good baby food with a little tweaking, but I don't know any babies anyway.

-made several quick batches of gluten free crackers (to eat with marmalade).

-today I am attempting to make my own pesto.
