The garden is definitely winding down, yesterday the cucumbers, squash, eggplants, peppers and even the broccoli were all pulled out. The broccoli surprised me, it usually stays for longer than the other plants. We harvested the rest of the potatoes and some carrots and a few turnips.

There a few potatoes that we need to use up sooner rather than later, they either had some blemishes or got a nick during the harvesting. So for dinner I wanted to use a few of the potatoes and had some steaks that I wanted to cook up. We are steak and potato people so I have made this pairing too many times to count.

How to change it up a bit is always something I am interested in trying. This skillet steak and potato dish is a keeper. It was super easy and who doesn’t love butter, garlic and herbs on some roasted potatoes and seared steak.

Using up a few of the last squash we grew, so good!!!
