Since my post about dandelion jelly (that turned out FABULOUSLY btw) I've been totally inspired to see what else I can do with all that grows on the little patch of grass that we call ours. As if on cue, Mama-Aya posted about lilacs. I had no idea that you eat those too! With a tiny bit of searching around I found this recipe. My kids will be eating these tomorrow!

that sounds yummy! We'll have to wait till much later in the season here in Montana for our lilacs to bloom, but I'll keep the recipe!

That sounds so good. God has given us so many good plants to eat. Why do we usually eat only a fraction of what He has supplied?
