Wash Your Veggies!

For your information . . . Saturday morning the zucchini and squash plants were sprayed for squash bugs. The vegetables are safe to eat however you need to remember to wash them good before hand. Thanks!

We have tons of tomatoes and carrots that are ready to be picked. Go get some!!!

Fresh Pickings!

Just a sample of what Gina took home on Saturday from the garden. Hope everyone enjoyed some of thier veggis for dinner today. :0) Thanks to all that made it out there to help!

Fresh Salsa

With all of the tomatoes, onions, and peppers in the garden it is a great time to make some fresh salsa. Great tasting and healthy too! There are a million different recipes and ways to make salsa but I thought I would share a traditional recipe that my family likes. I will list the basic ingredients but of course, adjust things to taste according to what you like.

Chop up the following according to desired chunkiness (I do mine more on the fine side):
2 onions (I use one yellow and one red)
2 bell peppers
1-3 jalapeno pepper (depending on how hot you want it)
12 med-large tomatoes
1/2 bunch of cilantro, or more if desired

Add:
1/2 C. white vinegar
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/8 C. sugar
1-1/2 Tb. salt
1-1/2 to 2 cans tomato paste (depending on how runny or thick you want it)

Mix it all up and eat your heart out! Oh, and don't forget to refrigerate it. :0)
