I planted 9 different tomato plants, I got a bit over zealous. My sunsugar is giving me nearly a dozen ripe cherries every day. My zebra tomato plant is giving me lots as well and my yellow pear tomato plant is finally starting to produce regularly. Last night for dinner I made some fresh baguettes and then toasted them and made brushchetta. I sliced the tomatoes in half or diced the bigger ones, salt and pepper a little lemon, basil and garlic, a splash of olive oil and balsamic, then let it marinate for an hour the end result was divine.
Now about those zucchinis. I am averaging 2-3 very large ones a week. There is only so much zucchini bread one can eat. So while looking through my Jamie Oliver cookbooks I found a recipe for zucchini carbanara.
It turned out wonderfully, I was even able to use my fresh flowering thyme in it. I love cooking from my garden, I love the taste of hard work and success.
i love that zucchini carbonara! i’ve had it before and it is so so good. i really wish our tomatoes were doing as well as yours!
Oh, my goodness! That all looks so delicious. I can’t wait to have a yard for growing my own summer veggies. Yum!
oh yum!
