I must say that I have my grandmothers and mom to thank for my green thumb. There is just something relaxing about digging around and getting some mud and dirt on your hands.
As you can see from previous posts that I finally convinced Ryan that it was time to build a garden. We have had a plethora of squash, zucchini, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes. I have had to be very very creative because Ryan doesn't really like those vegetables. Well I found a recipe in this month's Cooking Light for Squash and Corn soup. Yes, I did say soup. For those of you that don't know... I LOVE SOUP. I love it!!! I think this love was developed in college when every meal had to be cooked in the dorm microwave and soup was just easy. I can eat soup 12 months of the year over and over and over. I love it!!! So, I was very excited to find this recipe. It was really good, very very easy, and Ryan really liked it. I recommend it to anyone.
So, I need some help... I have grilled squash, make zucchini bread, steamed squash and zucchini,and made squash soup. I am completely out of ideas of what else to do with squash and zucchini. Help..... what else can I do?????
We also cut our first cantaloupe from the garden yesterday. It was good. Not the best tasting cantaloupe. I think I cut it too early, but I guess I'm learning.
This gardening thing is pretty fun. I find it very satisfying to sit at the dinner table and say "hey we actually grew this... for free."
Now if anyone would like any cherry tomatoes, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, or banana peppers please let me know.
Em,
ReplyDeleteYou can chopped up the zucchini and add as a layer in your lasagna recipe.
