Fittin'

The wife has been trying some new recipes. You guys post your good garden dishes.

This is from lunch yesterday. Spaghetti squash with bacon, broccoli and cheese. Next time we are going to try with sausage or ham. BIL is lactose intolerant, so Feta for his.

She made this one up trying to save on dirty dishes. Spinach, squash and onion stir-fry. No peppers in this one, but usually there is.

Super simple watermelon and cuke salad. Olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. The recipe didn't call for it, but she added a little Jalapeno pepper. This might be an everyday thing until the melons and cukes give out.

All of that, along with an ear of corn and leftover fish and hush puppies from work.

The wife tried another new recipe today. It's a keeper.

Only changes she made was using half a pack of bacon she had left over from poppers instead of the ground beef and we didn't add the cilantro. We had too much filling to fit in the squash halves, so we put it in a pan.

I don't know if these count but I did use carrots and onion from my garden in them.

Spring rolls

I forgot to take a picture, but we tried eggs on today's spaghetti squash. You cook the quash in the nuker, then add bacon bits, cheese and eggs and bake for 10 minutes. Pretty good.

I didn't get premium pictures but a few.

Zucchini, peas, and walla walla sweet onions from the garden.




Had fried chicken as well sprinkled with a little sea salt. Might as well go all the way. I don't eat it everyday.





Threw some walla walla's in for onion rings after the last batch of chicken came out. The grease was somewhat used as you can tell by the dark bits. They were still delicious and I made too many. We couldn't eat even half of them. Tempura batter.




I'll clean up the mess in the morning.

Those rings look good. Squash too. We had baked tomato slices again today. Bacon and cheese on a tomato slice, bake for 10 minutes at 400F Fast and easy.

I can't keep up with what day this was, but it was this week. Peas with pickled okra and sausage, tomato, cucumber, onion and pepper salad in sugar and vinegar, and tomatoes, onions, peppers and sausage stir fried, then added to spaghetti squash and topped with cheese. And sausage.

Picture was crappy but we had bacon cheese burger spaghetti squash the day before.

Nothing fancy but picked, cooked, and eaten within ten minutes of harvest. Better than any corn you can get in the store.

Sweet corn is pure heaven when you get your first few messes.

We had poppers that were really good as well as photogenic, but I just ate them.

Lettuce, tomato, and onion from the garden. Pickle chips I made from last year. Beef I ground myself. Corn from the garden.

I was thinking of making some poppers. I have enough jalapenos ready to pick. But I might make ABT's "Atomic Buffalo Turds" Jalapeno's with cream cheese, a little smokie sausage, wrapped in bacon and then grilled/smoked.

My wife has got to where she does cream cheese, real bacon bits and bbq sauce. Then cooks in the oven. Much faster and easier than her old recipes. Having the Mammoth Jalapenos makes it easier to work with. {these should have been picked a few days ago}

Dang! I was gonna make a couple replies to your posts. No time for that now. I have to go to the grocery store, and get stuff for dinner. I wasn't even hungry 5 minutes ago......

We are very lucky to have the fresh Walla Walla onions. Man, those are the best. I'll eat them just like an apple....

Everything came from the garden except a little grilled chicken for the salad. Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, radish, carrot, onion, beans, corn, and squash. Nine things from the garden.

Very nice. I'm down to cucumbers, okra and peppers.
