from the garden.

We are harvesting!

We have zucchini, squash, jalapenos, anaheim peppers, bell peppers, and cucumbers. And, pretty soon we will have tomatoes running out of our ears. We are so excited! This has been the best Utah summer for a first-time garden. We have had little thunderstorms almost every other day. We barely even have to water our overflowing garden.

But, here's the problem: I want recipes. We (will) have so much produce, that I can't just keep sauteing them as a side dish anymore. I have had two or three of these anaheim peppers a day. It reminds me of when Sam and I were dating. He and his roommates had a pretty big garden in the backyard, and whenever he had me over for dinner he would roast some anaheim peppers covered with cheese as an appetizer. They are so good! In fact, I have a few in the oven right now. But, who am I kidding, anything tastes great covered in cheddar cheese. I need to get more creative here. Do you have have any favorite recipes for my list of fresh produce?

Here's the other problem: We need you to come and help us eat all of this! Come say hello!

ps. So, funny story: Do you remember this post? I was so excited about our garden's progress, and I took this picture of our flowering cilantro plant thinking, "Oh, I didn't know that cilantro had flowers--they are so pretty!" I found out a few weeks later that you are not supposed to let cilantro flower and go to seed. Oops.
