This Week's Quick & Easy Recipe

 
Strawberries in last week's farm boxes.
Roasted Strawberries and Coconut Cream



Ingredients
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk , refrigerated upside-down for several hours or overnight
  • 2 pints strawberries , hulled and halved or quartered, divided
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey , or to taste (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment and set aside. Set a bowl in freezer for making coconut cream.

  2. Toss 1 cup of berries with coconut oil and vinegar (don’t worry if the oil’s clumpy), and arrange on baking sheet. Roast 15 - 20 minutes, or just until juices begin to release and edges darken. Set aside to cool.

  3. Toss roasted berries and any juices with remaining fresh berries, and sugar or honey if using, and set aside.

  4. To make coconut cream, remove can from fridge, leaving it upside-down and being careful not to jostle it. Use a can opener to open the bottom, pour off the translucent liquid, and reserve.
  5. Scoop thick white coconut cream into chilled bowl. Whip on medium until mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a drizzle or two of reserved coconut liquid to smooth things out.

  6. In small bowls, layer berries and coconut cream, and serve immediately.

3 Tools of the Naturalist

 






 

1 – Field Guide



 

Every naturalist should have one or two and most have a lot more than that. You can pick them up at secondhand book stores and even at garage sales for a lot less. They can also be found in your local library. There are even on-line field guides on the internet and downloadable mobile apps to help you identify a critter that you saw.

2 – Field Pack

The field pack is the briefcase of the naturalist. It can carry field guides (not too many-they can get heavy) and containers for collecting things, journal, and many things that a naturalist may need on hand in the field. It can be a fanny pack, or a back pack or any other kind of bag that is convenient to carry in the field. Being light and waterproof are pretty important. You probably have something around your house that would work.

What to carry in the field pack

  • field guides
  • journal or notebook and pen or pencil
  • binoculars (if you don’t have them around your neck)
  • camera
  • containers – this can be almost anything, empty film canisters, plastic bags, baby food jars (be careful with glass ones) as long as they are small and lightweight.
  • pocket knife
  • bandana – many uses including for emergency first aid and signaling
  • magnifying glass or loop
  • scissors or trimming shears for flower cutting
  • Healthy trail mix and water bottle

3 – Naturalist’s Journal

You may use any blank book or notebook for your journal – a ring binding makes it easier to make drawings. Start each entry with the date and what time of day it is. Then you can mention the weather and where you are, the neighborhood creek, a friends yard, etc. Be sure to notice any changes in the season and note that as well. Make notes of everything you see. You may also include things you find like feathers or interesting leaves. Let your eyes and your mind wander and write down questions that pop into your head.
