I will gladly post the recipes, once I return home. Mom's computer is on DSL and takes too long. I'll be back home in about 2 weeks. Feel free to remind me, if I should forget. ;)

Weall had leftovers today. Mom and Dad had leftover food from the restaurant we went to on Saturday, I had more of sunday's leftovers. We also had salad today though, with tomatoes I brought in my suitcase from my garden in California :lol:

I also showed mom some chickweed that grows in her garden that makes a nice addition to a salad.

Lettuces and Spinach grow wonderfully here in the winter. Here is a small salad from the garden.

Yes, that is a custard cup!! My husband is not a big salad eater. He says "That is not food, that is what food eats."

I'm not much of a salad eater either . . .

Raw veggies are fine, I'm just not driven to eat many of them.

But, have you ever thought that if you make your own salad dressing, you could take each of the ingredients separately and use them in a stir fry?

See, you start with the oil, then the veggies, splash with vinegar - Voil ! ! Stir Fry!

I have to say, Rebbetzin, that's a pretty salad :). I'd be happy to see it show up at my place at the table!

I spent the first day back home adjusting to the time and relaxing and checking our garden.

Yesterday I picked all the zucchini I could find and found a lot!! So I made zucchini bread, stuffed zucchini, a tomato salad and meatloaf with onion and garlic from the garden. It all came out great.
It is nice to be back home.

I pulled a rainbow of brilliantly coloried and very very sweet carrots with my grandson today ..we scrubbed them then crinkle cut them cooked them in honey butter with some tangerine juice and a little salt

he carried the bowl all day took it to my friends house ..presented it to her ..then freaked out told her she could have the cupcakes but "I want me honey buttah cawats back please you have the cupcakes"

he let her "taste just one ok they are special"

they are now in his lap with both hands wrapped around them protecting them from the dog

while he wants to take them home to eat for dinner

how fun is that anyway??? he gave up cupcakes for carrots!!!

That's quite a Cupcake of a Grandson you've got there, HiD!

I'd say he's got real Gardener Potential :).

I have a recipe for Faux Pineapple that you can. It tastes like pineapple but you use zucchini. Let me know if you are interested and I'll post it. Also I make Zucchini Chocolate Cake and Martian Cookies using zucchini.
