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?

It’s time to get back into menu planning after my extended break from blogging. I am physically feeling much better and like eating and cooking again so that’s a good thing. If the past two weeks have taught me anything it that life is fragile and to appreciate it more. I just assumed I would have a normal healthy pregnancy and my Pop-po would live forever, and when that didn’t happen it was devastating. I will try to make the most of everyday and strive to be more like my Pop-po each day too.

This week we have planned:

Breakfasts:

Scrambled eggs, toast, fresh fruit

Blueberry Muffins
