With the lettuce and onions from the garden, I made a salad with (store bought) tomatoes and avocado and mixed the salad then put it in a tortilla wrap to make a "salad wrap".


With the potatoes from the garden, I fried these with some green beans (store bought) and ate that with some fried corn (store bought.)

Last night I fried zucchini and crookneck squash for dinner that I harvested from the garden. I sliced the squashes and fried with a little oil, water, salt and pepper and served that over some rice.


the top left squashes were fused together

I harvested beets from the garden as well...Now I'm going to figure out what to do with beets.

What I did with the beets...



pickled beets with distilled vinegar, beet juice, pickling salt, garlic powder, sugar, & black pepper

I have already been eating lots of fried zucchini and crookneck squash from the garden served with some rice. So now I want to try different recipes with the zucchini and crookneck squash from the garden, and I'll let you you know what I whip up!

I have a lot of cucumbers from the concervatory and chillies. I do a cucumber and chilli chutney. Or if you don't like chilli, could have sweet peppers instead.

Preserving tomatoes in olive oil + how I am using the garden food

As you know, I have made pizza, spaghetti, salads, stir fries, and smoothies with the garden fruits and vegetables. If you looked at yesterday's post, I have a picture of the buttercup squash I ate from the garden. I broiled the squash and ate with vegan vanilla ice cream. You can look at my previous posts this summer to see some of the dinners I have had with the garden food. I have been boiling potatoes and eating with slices of tomato and cucumber, as well. I encourage you to experiment with your garden foods!

I have been pickling cucumbers, freezing berries, zucchini and crookneck slices to preserve the fruits that I can't eat immediately. I have also been dehydrating some of the vegetables. I made crookneck squash chips by dehydrating slices and then packing them in jars when they cool.

Additionally, I dehydrated cherry tomatoes for over 12 hours. After they cooled, I packed them in mason jars. When I finally bought extra virgin olive oil, I wanted to preserve the tomatoes in the olive oil. To pack the tomatoes in oil, first re-hydrate them in boiling water and let them soak. I added Italian seasonings with the tomatoes. Then drain the tomatoes and put in jars, covering them with virgin olive oil.
