Welcome to lizzycooks!

I love to cook. I collect recipes and cookbooks, enjoy food photography, and adore trying new restaurants. All of this food love inspired me to start this blog where I share my favorite recipes, cooking tips, and other fun stuff. Enjoy your food!

Grow a Salad in a Container

I grew the pepper and tomato that are in this salad. It's great to eat veggies you grew yourself and they taste better. Container gardening is easy and fun. The salad dressing you see on the side is "Ingrid's 4 Ingredient Balsamic Dressing" from a previous blog post, and it is sweet and delicious. I added homegrown dill to the dressing which was good, but next time I will try something else like fresh garlic or marjoram.
