Nana Gwaltney’s Ripe Tomato Relish

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

Thank you for your kind comments. There are many variations on the tomato relish but I’ve never seen one with just these ingredients and increments.

Thanks for going to the blog for a visit. Lucky you moving to Washington state! My daughter lives there. I hope to make it out for the lavender festival and farm tours in Sequim. You are certainly moving to a lavender rich area. Both Washington and Oregon have lots of lavender! I get so excited about the culinary aspects of lavender! I use it daily, and of course am always experimenting. My culinary is Provence because that grows the best here, but you may be able to grow some of the milder English lavenders in Washington!

Again, thanks for stopping by!

I loved reading your blog post. We used to eat this with pot roasts and I made some this year too. So good and uses up the end of the year crop. I am moving to Washington state in another month or two and have lavender growing on the property. I can’t wait to see what I can make with it and I am looking forward to reading more of your posts. Thanks so much for sharing here.
