Once that\nproduction of food stops you long for that season to begin again so you do not\nhave to make trips to the store for fresh vegetables.<\/o:p>\n\n\n\nHere below you can see me frying squash, Lemon boy and cherry tomatoes. I\ntried lightly battered and egg batter to find my preference was lightly\nbattered fried vegetables not double dipped in egg batter.<\/o:p>\n\n\u00a0<\/span>I made some salsa numerous times as\nyou can dress up many dishes with salsa as well as use as dips for chips as you\nwatch TV.<\/o:p>\n\n\n\nI made a salad of squash, cucumber, Swiss chard, lemon boy, black pearl,\nyellow pear beef eater and early girl tomatoes. I added in some sweet onions,\nmushrooms not from the garden and then basil, rosemary, tarragon and chives\nfrom the garden. I then put some salmon over the salad and dressed it with\nwhite balsamic dressing.<\/o:p>\n\n\n\nAnother way I always utilize my garden produce is making teas and today I\ngathered up my herbs of mint, basil, sage, lemon thyme, rosemary, I forgot my\nstevia this time, but it still came out just fine. I had the tea a little warm and put\nthe rest into a container in the refrigerator and will in indulge in that tea for a few days.\nThat nice clean refreshing taste is something I long for now.<\/o:p>\n\n\n\nThere are so many ways to use what I have in the garden, and I still have not even\nmade the pizza sauce as I did last year or used my food storage device.<\/o:p>\n\nToday I had my first cucumbers of the season and habanero peppers as well.\nThe habanero peppers kicked the salsa up a few notches with the jalapeno and\nserrano peppers and the cucumbers were refreshing with the salad.<\/o:p>\n\n\n\n\n
