Garden Growing.....
Yes, last blog I said I was definitely going to try my hand at growing a garden! All organic. So here's the update/progress for this week.
So far, we have pressure canned our first run of beans, which was easier than I thought! It was time consuming but I believe worth it! The beans look amazing! I figured we can use these beans through out the year in soups, or with potatoes or roasted. So many options! I am excited to have fresh green beans this winter!
We have already roasted some squash! The squash is so good. It has a sweet taste when roasted with salt, pepper and avocado oil. So yummy and simple! AND...organic, just like my grandparents grew their garden.
Cucumbers...yum. What can I say? So crisp, cool and refreshing. We have picked quite a few!
Waiting on the tomatoes. They are still green. Idea: Fried Green Tomatoes. Who likes them? See below for a recipe.
Corn is still growing. Starting to see the silks growing out..I am thinking that's a good thing.
Fried Green Tomatoes
Ingredients:
salt and pepper
cayenne pepper - use as little or much as you want
Oil for frying
Directions:
Slice tomatoes and lay on a towel to absorb moisture. Combine the next five ingredients. Heat a cast iron skillet with oil (about 1/4" of oil). Drench the tomatoes in the mixture to coat and then fry until golden brown - Turning once. Remove to a paper towel to drain. Add salt and pepper while hot. AND Enjoy this tangy treat.
Take a second to comment below your ideas for gardens and how to use the beautiful bounties we receive.
Until next time...take your journey to health and happiness...life is good!
