Mom Blinkie | Main | Husband Charged With Lacy Petersons Murder April 23, 2003Dandelion RecipesDon't mow down those dandy lions - eat them!! The dandelion is a healthful, great tasting weed you can eat, says this article. I remember growing up in a small town of about 1000 people and my friend's grandma would make dandelion wine. She also put them in mashed potatoes. They were darn good, too. I haven't cooked any of those weeds myself, but maybe I'll give it a shot this Spring. I'm sure the kids would get a kick out of eating the little "flowers" that grow all over. Here's some different recipes I found (pick dandelions just before using them because the flowers close quickly after picking): mountainbreeze.com Okay. That's enough. Anyone have experience with this? Recipes you're willing to share?

I remember my old neighbour made dandelion honey. I think she said it was okay.

My mother used to pick the blossoms, wash them, mix a little flour, salt & pepper in them while they were still wet and form patties. She fried the patties and we made dandelion blossom sandwiches. Yummy!
