Today is kind of a throwback day. Let's take a journey back to 2018 when the gardens were producing great produce. When items were in abundance at farm markets. When fresh produce was easy to get and plentiful.
There are a bunch of great recipes to use for summer eating. We all like to stay cool (especially this year) and these are all nice lunches and dinners and sides that you can probably make with what you have at home. Love reading back - so many of the same people are still hearing and commenting. That is just plain downright cool to me!!!!!

"SNORT" - just a little chuckle to end the week!
Have a great one. Stay cool and safe. Happy gardening my friends!
My husband always jokes about the grits bush in the backyard! LOL!
ReplyDeleteIf you watch Mornings with Granny on YouTube you may have seen that she slices yellow squash or zucchini and coats it with yellow cornmeal and then she lets it sit for ten minutes to set the cornmeal. Then just throw it all in a skillet with oil and fry it. So easy and no fuss and delicious! It is our new favorite way to eat veggies.
I love fried zucchini. I do it a bit different but love it. I love fried green tomatoes too. Summer favorite.
DeleteGrit bush! That's funny.
Today is rice with all kinds of veggies and garlic - Mmmmmm.
Thank you for the chuckle! Lynn Ewing
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Sometimes we just have to laugh a little - even at sillies!
DeleteThank you, Cheryl. Hope you don't mind if I jot down some of your recipes? Tonight's dinner will be "fried" chicken over butter lettuce salads. It's hot out there! --Elise
ReplyDeleteYou jot away!!! They are there for all to use. Your dinner sounds tasty.
DeleteIf anyone can grow birds from seed, it would be you. I have been craving fried squash and okra. I have squash here but will have to go to the farmers market for the okra. Are you growing any peas, black eyes or purple hulls? For some strange reason I have been having dreams about shelling peas. They already have them shelled at the farmers market, don't they know have of the joy is shelling the peas?
ReplyDeleteLOL too funny. I would give growing birds a try!!!!
DeleteI am growing okra - just get a couple pods at a time - so I am cutting and freezing and bagging - till enough to fry!
No I haven't grown peas. That is a fun job - I wonder why they wouldn't sell them in hulls? I remember doing that as a kid.
Hey, I have a whole bunch of millet growing in the rocks where I tossed birdseed last year. We did not put it out this year, because we were asked not to due to Avian flu. But some of it seeded and now I have birds flocking to the millet. What can I do? Nothing:)
ReplyDeleteHeck - natural feed. I have sunflowers and millet growing as well from dropping seed. Birds like the echinacea seeds as well. I am feeding once in a while - but they have good food.
DeleteThat is too funny! Wouldn't have thought of that...how clever! I really appreciate the variety of ideas. Right now we are so blessed with all the garden bounty. It is nice to have reminders and new ideas how to serve them. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is the best time of the year to me - food growing out the door!!!! So many uses for it. Just a nice reminder.
DeleteI wish I was that quick witted!
Fried green tomatoes! Always a summer favorite!
ReplyDeleteMe too!!!! I love them!
DeleteI giggled when I read your funny. So cute.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Glad you got a laugh today!!!!!!
DeleteYum! Fried green tomatoes! So delicious. Thanks for the laughs today.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Yep - good eating!
DeleteThanks for the link. Good suggestions. I'm making that zucchini pie for my daughter today. Her son is sick and she could use a meal. My daughter likes to make pasta salad using Olive Garden dressing. Says it's the only way she likes pasta salad. I find the right dressing matters.

Cool - enjoy the pie! Hope all gets to feeling better quickly.
DeleteSalad dressing is important. I have a couple types I like.
It's so hot here and dry ...these recipes sound like something I need!
ReplyDeleteHot and dry here too! UGH! Hoping for rain in a couple days.
DeleteGood - enjoy!!!!
I was just telling my husband I wanted some fried green tomatoes!!
ReplyDeleteYUM. They are just so good - I get a craving for them! ENJOY!
DeleteThank you for the link and for the recipe to the fried green tomatoes! I have a feeling that I will be having a lot of those in the near future. YUM!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Nothing better in the summer!
