Dandelion Root Tincture

This is made by chopping up after washing the dandelion root and putting it in 100% proof vodka. You need to kind of check it once a day and let it just sit for six weeks. You’re supposed to take one or two drops a day. It has anti-inflammatory properties, a diuretic, blood cleanser, and detoxifier for gallbladder spleen and liver. It helps to regulate blood sugar, and treat some skin conditions. I have never used it before so hard to say it’s effectiveness other than what I’ve read on the Internet. I have eaten dandelion greens however for many years, as my mother used to make wilted dandelion greens salad. She used to use Bacon and bacon grease, vinegar, a little sugar. We do all of that except lose the bacon grease.

Dandelion Green Pesto

Oddly enough this was actually delicious. This was my take on dandelion green pesto. We’re not using much oil in our house so it has very little oil in it. It’s basically dandelion greens that have the center stem removed. A lot of lemon juice a lot of fresh garlic, some Parmesan cheese, a lot of lemon juice, a good amount of walnuts and some olives and a little bit of salt
