The vegetable garden gets dug today , so I guess we will be planting in the next few weeks.
Zucchini grows well here. Tomatoes are harder some years, I usually get cherry tomatoes. Mast year we got one tomato! the most expensive tomato on the planet, I'm sure LOL.
Zucchini is way to expensive now, unless it is cheaper at the fresh food stand. Summer
Is coming......maybe
Zucchini Tomato Soup
2 small,zucchini,chopped small.
1/4 cup onion, chopped small
Olive oil
Salt
1 cup spicy v8 juice
1small tomato, cut
Dash of pepper, and basil.
Cheese and bacon garnish optional.
Sauté the zucchini and onion in the olive oil . Add remaining ingredients. Cook until heated through.
Garnish.
I like to serve soup with toasted cheese sandwiches, cheese quesidas. Cheesy bread sticks, or hard crusty bread. If we have something like this for dinner, I will add a pudding or creme brûlée or another desert that is rich in protein if we don't have cheese with it.
The grocery outlet has a lot of interesting cheeses, some are inexpensive, some are not.
Pork Loin Roast garlic rub.
2 WHOLE garlic bulbs
Olive oil
Pinch EACH of basil and oregano
Cut the very top off of the garlic bulb. Place each garlic bulb on foil drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with basil and oregano. Bring the foil up to cover the bulb. Bake at 425 for 30 minutes,
Cool. Squeeze garlic pulp out of the garlic. Add 2 T lemon juice.
Rub over roast before roasting. This would probably taste good on chicken as well.
I have discovered that some basic sauces and rubs, seasoning pairings, are good on many things.
It makes life simpler.

better cheaper faster
remember, you get paid for shopping -- not for cooking.
If you spend more time shopping, and less time cooking, your bottom line will be better.
If you are short on time, spend more time planning your trip and make the time up being more efficient in the kitchen.
