I need to stretch my coffee too.

We watched “Great Depression Cooking with Clara” on YouTube. Since then, my girls are looking to nature for salad. Now I can add Chicory to the list of things they should get.

We have also collected wild blackberries, persimmons, rose hips, butternuts and walnuts. I think it’s really neat. All these years we had this stuff, but never really took advantage of it.

When we started clearing out our vacant lot, to put in a garden, we discovered all this other stuff. Who knew what was hiding in the briar patch? LOL. I think it is great that your girls are taking an interest in this.

You could also add dandelion greens (high in vitamin C) to your list. Actually my husband about 35 years ago read Euell Gibbons books, and went around for several months eating wild plants and flowers. Then he lost interest, but I still have the books somewhere, so I need to try and find them.LOL.
