Meet Me In The Garden Pt. 17 and 18

I've been away from blogging about my lovely garden for a while but don't worry I have photos t5o share. It's getting closer to the end of the summer so we have been picking some veggies from the garden. I still have collards growing, cabbage, tomatoes, a cucumber or squash, peppers and an eggplant. I'm so excited because my mom has been using the vegetables in her meals cooking fried green tomatoes, adding them to salads and making cabbage.

Response I love this article. It just makes me feel cooler thinking about how cool you'll be in the kitchen, literally. After work days during the summer I do not want to be slaving over a hot oven or stove all the time. I also don't have a large appetite to really cook much either. I love fruits and veggies so why not chill out to a nice healthy cool salad. My mom always make the most creative salads in the summertime. This past week she made crab meat salad. Yum! Plus being that I'm growing vegetables in my community garden plots, maybe they can come to some use as well. I definitely would love to try some of these recepies soon and when I do I will post my reviews.
