l am very ready for summer’s tomatoes to start coming in. They are starting to appear, one by one... first a tiny Sun Gold cherry tomato and then a few Early Girls.

So after visiting with Katie and leaving with a bag of goodies, I went home and got to work creating a meal with my tomatoes, cucumbers, and beans. This is what I came up with:

Last week we had friends over for a homemade pizza dinner that included local veggies and handmade dough. It was a fabulous meal and we all agreed that no chain restaurant can beat a homemade pizza!

Just finished a delicious Sunday family dinner which included fresh foods straight from the garden and our oven! Tonight's menu included my husband's famous burgers on his homemade French-bread buns.
