i was going through my film, preparing some blogs for the week, and i realized that i had used these garlic scapes in about 4 of my dishes. i had never tried using them before, but the smell was so intoxicatingly wonderful, i couldn’t resist. and at 3 bucks a pop, i was able to make so many things with them! i just love eating seasonal foods. it’s like, something to look forward to. it’s a treat, you know?!

stay tuned for some of the dishes i used them in – including a unique take on mashed potatoes! 🙂
