Fresh Homemade Salsa

Tomatoes, tomatoes, and more tomatoes… What in the world am I going to do with all of these tomatoes? We do this every spring, we plants so many tomato plants and then they all come in at once.

I hate to waste anything so I am finally taking the time this summer to make my own salsa and sauce.

Pets need delicious healthy food too! My Cooper, AKA Coop dog, loves to help out in the kitchen. And by help I mean wait for something to drop on the floor and he’ll gladly clean it up 🙂

Chicken Enchilada Zucchini Boats

This was our dinner tonight and oh boy it was gooood!  I saw the recipe a while back on Kevin’s site and had to try it.  And now since it’s summer, zucchini’s at it’s best.

Since we already ate our own garden’s stock, I stopped at the local farmer’s stand on the way home a picked up a bunch. With zucchini, peppers and onions in season right now this meal is not only healthy, but affordable.

BLTA Sandwich (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato & Avocado)

The tomatoes are turning red in our garden. Wahoo! It’s sandwich night at our house. So BLTA’s it is.

BLTA’s, or bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado, are quite possibly one of my favorite summer sandwiches!  And there’s nothing better than using the fresh veggies from our own garden.

Veggie Egg Casserole

Our vacation is quickly coming to an end 🙁  It’s now time to start cleaning out the fridge.

Since we are all veggie lovers I had lots to choose from when making this veggie egg casserole. I decided on potatoes, pepper, onions, mushrooms, and fresh spinach, but any veggie combo will work.

Zucchini Fritters

The local produce stands are open for the summer! Nothing tastes better than fresh local produce. It is also awesome to support your local farmers.

Everything looks so delicious it’s hard to choose so I usually end up with a bunch of veggies and zucchini is one of them. I never have too many zucchini recipes. So when I saw this recipe on Closet Cooking I knew this would be perfect. Thanks Kevin!
