Poke salet two ways

 I made some delicious Thai soup with some of the poke that I picked out and then I made some creamed (spinach) poke. You can look up recipe recipes for both of those, but just substitute poke for spinach  

Edible Greenbrier tendrils

 I was walking down the alleyway behind my house and search a poke salet When I spied some greenbriar growing beside the poke.  So I decided to have a little snack. The tenders of the Greenbrier are so tasty, nice and crunchy.

Poke Greens from the vacant lot

I went cruising for poke greens yesterday in the alley behind my house and hit pay dirt.  I will be making Thai Basil and Poke Green soup for tonight's supper.  I made eggless tofu poke quiche last night.  Delish!  

Claire Goes Foraging

The book is written so that children can learn several common plants easily found in places that are allowed to be wild, even in your own back yard or garden.  

I included some of Claire's scrap book pages about plant identification and the recipe that she and Celeste chose to make for their evening meal on the day they foraged for food.  

It also includes vitamin/mineral information that Claire finds on the internet.  

The book encourages parents and children to do more research and of course, to eat the weeds :-)

Here are a few sample pages
