Early Girl Tomatoes

It has been unusually cool here this summer, but still – Tomatoes! I couldn’t grow a thing in the ocean fog, so believe me when I say that this is a vast improvement.

I marinated the Portabella Mushrooms in Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki sauce, sauteed ‘em up and served them on a bun with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. So easy and delicious!

Miniature Fruit Tarts

These are so easy to make. I baked some frozen puff pastry cups which taste good, but I’d use miniature tart shells if I wanted them to look better. And if I could find them around here! I was in a hurry, so I used instant vanilla pudding instead of home made custard. I topped them with strawberries, kiwi fruit, canned peaches, and blackberries and finished with a bit of apricot preserves. Simple and delicious!

What to do with the leftover fruit? Make fruit salad!

Roasted Vegetables

Eph — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 22:34:52 +0000

Roasted veggies are so easy to make, and so tasty. Even people who think they absolutely hate Brussels sprouts (almost) always like them roasted like this. I used Brussels sprouts, broccoli, potatoes (new, purple, and mini Yukon Gold), sweet potatoes, eyeball (pearl) onions, beets, carrots, and garlic. I drizzled liberally with olive oil and seasoned the vegetables with salt, pepper, and thyme. I also added a little water to the dish and stirred throughout roasting so they wouldn’t dry out. These took about 2 hours at 375°, but roasting times vary according to size, amount, etc.

We picked a whole lot of strawberries at Gizdich Ranch over the weekend. Now, what to do with all these berries….?

Lettuce growing in my garden. I planted the seeds in containers and then transplanted them in the garden.
