Friday Edition: Yummy Finds

Over here at our house we are going crazy with tomatoes!  I planted three early girl tomato plants and they have produced like crazy.  I can't keep up with them!  Which is okay, because now I can share with co-workers, neighbors and my mom. 

The eggplants also came in really quick.  I got four of them - not too big - but they look nice and shiny and purple-y.

I wish my cucumber seeds had taken and that I had planted some zucchini as well.  Some friends have given me summer squash and Swiss chard, but it's not the same as pulling it out of your own garden.  Don't you agree?

In case your house is going crazy with fresh veggies, I thought it would be fun to feature some recipes that feature some common home-grown ingredients!

 Okay, so Lisa has more than a backyard garden like me.  She has a farm!  If you haven't visited Lisa's blog, you should check it out.  She talks about her life on the farm, her kids (she has three boys), running, crafts, and other fun things.  Fun fact about Lisa - she's ran eight marathons!

YUMMY FIND NO. 2: Cucumber and Tomato Salad from Eat at Home

Cucumber and tomato salad has to be one of my favorite summer salads!  And doesn't Tiffany's salad look great?  So much color!  The cukes aren't from Tiffany's garden, but if you have some, you should definitely try this salad.  Also check out Tiffany's other recipes on her blog where she posts weekly menus and full shopping lists. 

Have fun checking out Lisa's and Tiffany's blogs this weekend!  Let me know what you're creating with your home-grown ingredients.  And if you want to be featured on a Yummy Finds, send me an email!
