Today was pesto-making day again! I’ve been having so much fun experimenting with my pesto recipes, and today I made a few delicious batches!

My Original Vegan Pesto — the classic, bold, fresh, and flavorful recipe!

Vegan Pesto 2.0 — made with my original recipe, but with Egyptian spinach added and walnuts and sunflower seeds used in place of pine nuts. It has a deliciously unique flavor and a slightly different twist on the original!

Basil & Spinach Vegan Pesto — made with half fresh spinach and half basil. It’s bright green, incredibly smooth, and still packed with a fresh, herby flavor, but it has a milder, more delicate taste than my original basil pesto. Each 6.5 oz (182g) jar contains ¾ cup of raw spinach!It’s such a delicious and easy way to add extra greens to your meal. This pesto is perfect stirred into pasta, spooned over grain/veggie/protein bowls, spread on sandwiches and wraps, served with vegetables, used as a dip, or honestly…..eaten by the spoonful!

All of my pesto is completely vegan and I only use ORGANIC extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). We manage a small (no spray) nursery and grow our own basil and spinach. I have frozen pesto jars available for anyone who would like some. Message me if you’d like to purchase a jar! 😋

My New Favorite (Sour) Candy! 🍉

I’m always looking for ways to get creative with what we have and limit waste whenever I can. My watermelon rind now gets a delicious second life! Not only did I make syrup, I also turned the rind into an incredible sour candy using just watermelon rind, sugar, and citric acid. And WOW… it tastes like a little bite of watermelon candy with the perfect sour kick! 😋

It’s a reminder that sometimes the best way to be less wasteful is to reuse before we recycle. Recycling is wonderful, but reusing is even better because it keeps an item in use instead of requiring it to be processed into something new.
And that brings me to my jars! 🫙 🫙 🫙

If you have any of my Ball jars from previous purchases, please don’t throw them away! Bring them back to me and I’ll be happy to give you a credit toward your next purchase. Let’s keep those jars circulating, reduce waste, and get as much use out of the things we already have as possible. Reuse → Refill → Repeat! 🌎

Dandelion Bliss wants to hear from YOU!

I’m working on some new ideas for products I can make and offer locally, and I’d love your input!

What is something you wish you could buy locally but have a hard time finding?

It could be herbal products, natural wellness items, pantry staples, homemade foods, garden-related goodies, self-care products, or something completely different! If you could walk into a local small business and find something you normally have to order online or drive out of town for, what would it be?

Please drop your ideas in the comments! You never know—your suggestion might inspire the next Dandelion Bliss product or even help another small business.

Thank you for helping me build this little local business around what our community actually wants and needs! 🥰

A little behind the scenes of my small business…

One of my favorite parts of what I do is that so much of my business starts in my garden. 🌱 I grow, harvest, wash, dry, preserve, and create as much as I can myself. Whether I’m making vegan pesto from fresh garden herbs, turning watermelon rinds into syrup, collecting basil flowers for herbal tea, or working on my herbal products, there’s a whole lot of love (and a little bit of mess) that goes into each and every batch.

I love being able to take something I’ve grown and turn it into something useful and delicious for my neighbors and community. Supporting my little business helps me keep growing, experimenting, and creating more! Thank you to everyone who has purchased something, shared my posts, recommended me to a friend, or simply followed along with my little garden adventures. Every bit of support means so much to me. 💚

There is something so satisfying about turning simple, fresh ingredients into nourishing food.

Thursday, I made a fresh batch of homemade sauerkraut using locally grown cabbage, fresh garlic, fragrant rosemary, and unrefined Himalayan salt. My half gallon jar is packed by hand (wooden spatula) and left to naturally ferment, allowing beneficial bacteria to flourish.

Why fermented foods?
🥬 Naturally rich in probiotics that support a healthy gut microbiome.
🧄 Garlic has traditionally been valued for its antimicrobial properties and may help support the immune system.
🌿 Rosemary is known for its antioxidant compounds and has long been used to support digestion and overall wellness.
🧂 Himalayan salt helps create the ideal environment for fermentation while providing trace minerals.

One of my favorite parts of making herbal and fermented foods is sourcing local ingredients whenever possible. Supporting local growers means fresher ingredients, a stronger community, and food that’s connected to the place we call home.

Fermentation is an ancient tradition that transforms simple vegetables into something delicious, tangy, and full of life. It’s a beautiful reminder that some of the best medicine begins in the garden.

Would you try garlic and rosemary sauerkraut? Have a favorite way to enjoy it? Let me know in the comments! 💚🌱

🌿 It’s pesto making day! 🌿

There’s something so satisfying about walking out into the garden, harvesting fresh organic basil that I grew myself, and turning it into homemade pesto.

Today I’m making a triple batch with buttery pine nuts, fresh garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and garden-fresh basil. I’m leaving the Parmesan out so you can add it fresh after thawing, making it easy to customize and helping preserve that fresh flavor.

I’ll be freezing the jars for maximum freshness, and they’ll be available starting tomorrow.

✨ If you’d like a jar before it’s frozen, please send me a message today and we can arrange pickup!

Thank you for supporting my little garden and small business. Every batch is made with love, fresh ingredients, and herbs grown without synthetic pesticides. 🌱

Some days, I have to stop and appreciate the little things that make this journey so special. This beautiful Southern Water Oak has quietly watched over this property for years, and today it gave us the greatest gift—cool, welcoming shade while I spent some time in the front yard with the sweetest customer.

As I looked around, I couldn’t help but grin. My garden is overflowing with life. Every plant has been grown with patience, care, and a genuine love for nature. Watching this little nursery become more abundant each season reminds me why I started Dandelion Bliss in the first place. Plants have a way of bringing peace to our homes, supporting pollinators, beautifying our landscapes, and reconnecting us with nature. I’m so grateful that I get to share that with this amazing community. Thank you to everyone who supports my small business, whether you’ve purchased a plant or product, shared a post, or simply stopped by to admire our garden. Your encouragement means more than you know.

What’s your favorite tree or plant in your yard? I’d love to see a photo in the comments!

Please like, follow, and share Dandelion Bliss to help more local plant lovers discover my little nursery. Every share helps a small business grow, and I’m so grateful for each one. 🪴

One of the many reasons I became an herbalist and have been working to build a small nursery is because of the incredible health benefits of gardening and plants. It isn’t just about growing herbs, flowers, fruits, and trees. It’s about healing. Spending time in the garden helps calm my mind, regulate my nervous system, and gives my body a chance to slow down. Some days, simply watering plants, harvesting herbs, or digging in the soil is the best therapy I could ask for.

Research shows that spending time in nature can help reduce stress, lower cortisol levels, improve mood, support heart health, and even strengthen our immune systems. Gardening also encourages gentle movement, mindfulness, and a deeper appreciation for the world around us. Knowing that the plants I grow can nourish people, support pollinators, improve our environment, and bring joy to someone’s home makes every hour spent in the garden worthwhile. Whether you have a large backyard, a small patio, or just a single pot on your windowsill, every plant is a step toward a healthier planet and a healthier you. 🌿💚

What are you growing this season, and how does gardening make you feel?

One of my favorite parts of gardening is discovering that almost every stage of a plant has a purpose. Today, I gathered the beautiful flowers from my basil plants. These fragrant blossoms can be dried and enjoyed in herbal tea, adding a light, sweet basil flavor. There’s something so satisfying about growing your own herbs, harvesting them by hand, and turning them into something comforting to enjoy later. Every harvest reminds me that nature is incredibly generous when we take the time to appreciate it.

Do you let your basil plants flower, or do you pinch the blooms off? Have you ever tried basil flower tea? I’d love to hear your favorite ways to use basil beyond pesto! I plant to make pesto and basil salt this week. 🌿
