Our garden is overflowing with wonderful veggies, so as always I am making some new and old favorite recipes.  I am going to be really busy in the kitchen this week.  I prefer to eat my veggies fresh, but if I must, I do resort to freezing; tomatoes and shredded zucchini are two that freeze well. My mom has been shredding zucchini in everything, meatloaf, spaghetti, etc.  It’s an easy way to add a veggie to your meal and picky eaters will never notice.

Here’s some of our lovely garden produce.

Can’t beat garden fresh tomatoes, my absolute favorite.

How about some zucchini and yellow squash, cucumbers, purple cabbage, green beans, okra, bell pepper, jalapenos.

What recipe do you most look  forward to in the summer?

Last week we enjoyed:

  1. Your garden is amazing! Haylei just pulled a little pinkish green tomato off the bush yesterday. I’m going to try my hand at refrigerator pickles this year. We really love Mt. Olive brand pickles so I’m hoping to figure out how to make them taste like that!

  2. OMG! You sucker punched a dieting woman there, Sweet Pea! 😉
    I was going along, looking at all the beautiful pictures of your wonderful harvest and all the lovely colors, (and losing weight as I was looking!), and then? BROWNIES!
    Zucchini brownies or not, my sweet tooth just got sooooo turned on!
