Pepper Pancakes

Welcome to my new Garden to Table series, where I will be showcasing a number of delicious recipes with ingredients used from my garden. I started my little vegetable garden last Fall, and whilst it has its challenges, I very much enjoyed learning and seeing my empty garden bloom into what it is today! Although my garden may be small, I’ve somehow managed to pack it full with all different kinds of delicious edibles and flowers (they’re used as both insect deterrents and pollinators!) I hope to inspire those who are looking to start a garden but are limited by space, and of course, share recipes made from the day’s pickings!
