Secret Confession, I LOVE some 'weeds'...

I found a recipe for garlic mustard, that nasty weed that has those little inconspicuous white flowers and goes everywhere. Haven't tried it yet however.

I love dandelions too, they are so nutritious and the flowers can be made into wine, the leaves can be used in salads, etc. They also look so pretty in my lawn blooming along with the purple violets here.

I also like stinging nettle, it's very good to eat (just cook it to get rid of the sting), has lots of vitamins and minerals as well as vitamin k.

Purslane is good for eating, but it is a bit slippery when you do eat it.

Lambs quarters are good too. Mmmmm!

I also love wild amaranth, you can use the seeds in bread, or if you have a lot of them, make them into a high protein porridge. You can also eat the leaves too.
