My garden is doing just OK. I did have a lot of cucumbers so I made 17 jars of pickles yesterday. I have gotten a few zucchini and summer squash so I wanted to make something for dinner the other night using up a couple of them. This recipe is a keeper and you need to check it out. Very easy to make, a one … Continue reading Lemon Parmesan Chicken with Squash
If you read my blog fairly frequently you might think I just posted this; I even questioned it myself but they are different soups with similar ingredients. This one I adapted from a recipe I found in allrecipes.com that was submitted by domesticgoddess. It comes together quickly and has fabulous flavor and fits the bill around here. We got over a foot of snow here … Continue reading Tuscan Bean and Italian Sausage Soup
I hope you have a wonderful day! When I initially share this recipe back in 2016; sounds forever ago I know but this is a fantastic salad that comes together very quickly and is great to share with family and friends. If you have a vegetable garden you probably have almost everything right outside your door. Back in 2016 everything you see here was … Continue reading Summer Garden Salad
While it may be the end of summer for some, I am not going down without a fight. My garden is still giving me lots of veggies; it even has finally snapped out of it and we have fresh garden tomatoes. I have made a ridiculous amount of kosher dill pickles. My zucchini plants did not do well this year, maybe a dozen in … Continue reading Chow Chow relish – water bath canning
Pretty hot this weekend – so far hottest this summer. Not only the heat but the humidity damn its gross out there! My phone is telling me that it is 91’F out and it also says it feels like 98’F. That means it is gross out there and hopefully you can stay inside with the air conditioner on or you are somewhere near a … Continue reading Summer Garden Salad
This is the first time I can recall picking an enormous summer squash; zucchini I swear grows twice its size overnight and it’s not always my fault, summer squash I believe grows a little slower. I also get how I can miss a green zucchini but a bright yellow squash usually doesn’t get by me. I have never baked a bread or cake with a … Continue reading Overgrown Summer Squash=Delish
Well it is about time we are going to be getting some much needed rain here today in New England. Thankfully we have a well instead of being on town water so we; well actually my husband who I rename every summer to water boy; has tried very hard to keep our gardens and lawn looking a little less brown than others I see around … Continue reading Summer Garden Salad
Happy 4th of July weekend – I hope everyone had and is still having a safe fun filled weekend with family and friends. I was lucky enough to have 4 days off for the holiday! I played a little golf with my girlfriends; had lunch and relaxed on the patio on Thursday. Friday I spent some quality time in my garden weeding. With my busy … Continue reading Grilled Steak and Vegetable Salad
Our gardens are doing really well this year for the most part. The only disappointments are my peppers, both the bell and jalapeno’ peppers are just not growing or producing. We have had a bumper crop of zucchini, summer squash and cucumbers. We have been getting a ton of cherry tomatoes and plenty of roma; I fear all of my beef steaks will all turn … Continue reading Zucchini Bread
Building our patio a few years back was one of the best idea’s I pushed to get built. Sometimes my husband needs a little nudge to start a huge project around the house – the carpenters house is never finished. I can’t truly say that as my house is awesome and more than 90% done. We were having a large family gathering and I wanted … Continue reading 3 ingredient (no fuss) Eggplant
