Fresh From The Garden!!

Well, friends, earlier this year I went out and planted a small garden in our backyard. After watching it for awhile, watering it faithfully, and weeding it as needed, it has now begun to give a return for the hard work I have put in. Here, you can see the firstfruits from the garden for this year.


As you can see, they are ready to go under the knife for dinner, and that's exactly what happened. Carrie loves her veggies, and so I put a little olive oil in the pan, added the squash and zuccini, and then a little pepper over the top for seasoning. About 12 minutes later, here is what they all looked like.


Finally, they all ended up on a plate, and are now being digested somewhere within my lovely wife. These are merely the first of the brave souls to make that journey, as I can see several new squash and zuccini that are ready for the same treatment in just a few more days.

If you have any great ideas for summer squash, zuccini, tomato, or bell peppers, please feel free to pass them on, as we will need many recipes as the plants continue to make this year!

Zucchini bread, salsa, zucchini is good in lasagna, and there's this sausage, squash, pasta dish that's pretty good. I'll look for it.
