[No-]BS Cooking!

This is a blog for all of my culinary adventures! I learned most of what I do from my Italian grandmother, with whom I am very close. Although my focus is on Italian food, I do enjoy using lots of techniques and ethnic styles, including Hispanic, Asian, etc. I even cook a lot of vegetarian dishes! If you would like a recipe or advice, or if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Also, feel free to submit your own food-related stuff! Email me: signorino.brandon at gmail.com

Started our patio garden for this year!

Sam and I started our patio garden! We have some red and blue flowers in the hanging basket (can't remember what they are called); in the planters, we have prairie sage, Italian basil, raspberry lettuce, purple peppers, and spearmint!

Definitely excited to use the purple peppers and basil in my Italian recipes... and to use the lettuce in salads and on sandwiches!

Our first harvest from the patio garden!

Our first harvest from the patio garden! Oregano, basil, a purple bell pepper, and some broccoli!

We used the purple pepper, oregano, and basil to make dinner tonight! It's so awesome to use fresh things that we grew ourselves.

Expanding our garden!

We expanded pur patio garden today, since the green peppers never germinated. In addition to the "corn salad" (sweet leafy green), we now have purple bell peppers, broccoli, oregano, and basil. Makes for a nice view for this spring and summer :)
