All recipes included in this series are made using one or more of the fresh vegetables from my finally successful garden! I am so excited to share some of these recipes that DH and I have been eating over the past couple of weeks!!!
At this point in the summer, my garden has reached its peak in terms of production of vegetables and now I am struggling (literally) to use and give way all that it is producing.
In July, when the cucumbers started developing, I had two (sometimes three) Hartmans eating salads, so I could slice cukes right onto their salads every night. Many people also enjoy just eating plain cucumbers so I found plenty of takers. Same with the beans. I think we've only eaten beans once or twice, since I was able to give so many of them away.
But the tomatoes are a different story. There are SO MANY tomatoes.
And there are about 50 to 75 more where these came from!!!
Now I know why the first thing that people ask when I tell them that I'm growing tomatoes is "Oh, are you going to can them?"
I always say, "No way! I'm gonna use them fresh!"
Ha! Young (ok, not so young) naive, me. Thinking I could use all of the tomatoes I grow.... foolish.
But anyway, the first Garden Fresh Recipe will debut tomorrow, so definitely check it out. It's one of my all-time favorite meals ever!

I actually enjoy canning. It's work but it's worth it.
