Favorite Recipes
This section has some of my favorite recipes that I have used, added to, or made up over the years. I will add to this as time allows. I have
been cooking and baking since I was about 12 years old, a good many years.
I cannot believe it has been that long!
I used to help my mom make apple pie when I was little. Mainly, I would eat the apple peels while she peeled apples and then I would sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon in the pie. When I was in seventh grade, I took my first home economics class and the teacher taught us cooking and baking. It was so much fun to work in those small classroom kitchens and make real food. I learned that baking was a science and that exact measurements are important.
The first thing we made in home economics class was blueberry muffins. Our team's muffins were good. One of the other teams put their ingredients into the bowl out of order of what was listed on the recipe and their muffins tasted salty. So another thing the teacher emphasized before and after the baking session is to follow the ingredient order in the recipe.
Look for new updates on this page constantly as I love to bake and cook. I do make quite a few new things and as time allows, I will add new favorite recipes.

You will need to find some tasty recipes when you grow your own vegetables, fruits, and herbs. In this section, you will find links to recipes using many different types of veggies that you might grow in your garden. I love to cook, bake, and create delicious things out of what we grow, don't you?
The important thing to remember is that vegetables are best when they are picked and used within a few days. If you don't think you will use them within a few days, consider blanching and freezing them or even canning them to preserve the fresh taste and health benefits they give.
Vegetables are good for you with little to no fat, carbohydrates, or calories and taste delicious, if you cook them correctly. The recommended amount of servings of vegetables per day is now up to about nine servings per day for most people. You can eat some of the servings raw for snacks, like carrots and celery. Others you will eat in salads, like lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, or onions. Still others you will cook plain or incorporate into dishes to enjoy.
There are so many ways to cook and use vegetables, especially those that you have grown in your garden. Soups, stews, sauces, and casseroles all use vegetables. The vegetables you grow can be sautéed, stir-fried, fried, steamed, boiled, baked, and grilled.
Some recipes are complex enough for holidays or special occasions while others are simple, yet delicious, and can be made quickly for an evening meal that you can prepare after work.

Hi Everyone! Thank you for visiting my website! I am Mrs Davids
Garden Seeds® aka Mrs. David's Garden Seeds and I think you should know that there is a wonderful seed
company in the great state of Texas called David's Garden Seeds®. We grow some of our seed, we count, hand pack, print our own envelopes, and ship seeds out to you right here from our farm. This used to be an old peanut farm. When the owner died about 15 years ago, his sons split the farm up and sold it in pieces. In 2024, we bought another adjoining four acres.
Our business started in our home in San Antonio in September of 2009. Honestly, I told David, "Don't bother, it won't work!". I am so glad that David did not listen to me because it did work! By 2015, we had 8 employees working in my home every day and David found a storefront in San Antonio and moved the business there. In 2016, I quit my day job and went on the payroll. The company grew some more and David moved to a bigger storefront in 2017. In 2019, we found a beautiful piece of land over in Atascosa County and turned it into a farm out near Poteet. David and I moved out here to live in August of 2019.
In 2020, we moved our company out to the farm. We have a beautiful Farm Store filled with seeds, a gazebo with a pond full of koi and gold fish for you to visit and a working farm for you to tour. Come by and visit us at 5029 FM 2504 in Rossville, just outside of Poteet, Texas, Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturday from 10am to 2pm. Or you can order seeds online from our user-friendly website, www.davidsgardenseeds.com.
Our beautiful new farm store has almost 2,000 varieties of seeds and more. Mrs Davids Garden Seeds® looks forward to meeting you when you visit.
