    We used to use real trees 20 years ago, but started using only fake ones because the real trees are super messy, sometimes turn brown if you forget to water them, and one year we found bugs in the real tree!

    Green Sauce/Pesto Alternatives

    Thank you very much! I'm totally going to make this next time I get groceries!! My daughter makes a similar pesto at Christmas and we always smother our Salmon En Croute with that pesto! It is wonderful! She makes it in advance so all of the flavors can do their magic!

    I haven't really made any sauces with these wild greens, but I do love the dandelion greens in a salad, the miner's lettuce on tacos and burgers, and the sheep sorrel on tacos. The stinging nettle has been great in tea, in ramen soup, and in shrimp/fettuccine stir fries with butter!
