When we arrived to our new home in Idaho, all this produce was waiting for us in our new garden!
I was absolutely delighted to be welcomed by such a treat! I ended up baking the yellow squash for a dinner, slicing and sautéing the zucchini in butter and garlic, then preparing a delicious salad using the tomatoes and cucumbers with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette. The peppers and onion I used to perk up a few meals here and there.
This is something completely new for us! My son Door Dashed gifted us an excellent Christmas Eve Brunch from a local restaurant! He chose the menu items and we thoroughly enjoyed it! On top of the generous tip my son gave, we also tipped the driver extra since he had to drive up a snowy hill to deliver to us! The coffee was a Hot Buttered Cinnamon Roll Latte. Photos below. Yummo!
I cored and peeled some of our homegrown tomatoes and sauteed them in olive oil with a little garlic & salt to make a simple sauce. Of course, I could not resist slicing up a tomato, laying it on toasted sourdough with some mayo and swiss cheese. Yum!
This is our 2nd growing season after moving here to Idaho. We are still on a learning curve, working with the climate, but we are getting a bumper crop of tomatoes this year. We also managed a small harvest of potatoes, onions and herbs as well. Unfortunately, the grasshoppers are constantly munching on our basil, thyme & blueberry bushes.
