Sweet Home Organic Farm in St. Charles, my hometown, turned me on to Garlic Scapes.  Much milder than garlic since odors were not seeping from my pours and breath as with the vampire repellent.   Certainly my new favorite right now.  Sweet Home Organics Farm produced some of the best purple kale I’ve had as well.

I steamed and seasoned the pretty, perky scapes and ate up the tender tendrils.  Served with steamed portabella mushrooms and aldente spinach pasta, the whole endeavor took under ten minutes and no fat.  An unbelievably healthy, simple, and delightful recipe.
