Meals of Garden Veggies!

Tweet

The non-chef (me), is back again for another try! After peeking here, please visit Gollum at her wonderful site. http://designsbygollum.blogspot.com/ There are a lot of participants and wonderful looking dishes!

I feel I have to eat from the garden every night now. It's all so good and fresh. I'll have to be having lots of beets in the next few days! I've given tons of zucchini and green beans away!

Here is Sautéed Zucchini and Onions in tomato sauce and green beans. I sprinkled Asiago cheese over top. (Love that stuff.)

A nice light meal so I could have some more Chocolate Cobbler shown below!

Turkey Patti and Green Beans

The turkey patti has chunky Ragu sauce and Colby and Monterey cheese on top. Green beans, of course, and I've found I really like the potato chips and sour cream with these lighter meals.

OK, who is the one who put the recipe on for this Chocolate Cobbler!!!! I made it and it is heaven! So rich and definitely for the chocoholic!!! (me) I have the whole big pan for myself. I hope I don't get sick, I can't keep from taking spoonfuls of it! Here it is warm with vanilla ice cream. Mmmmmmmmm.

Salad, Calico Beans and Zucchini

I started this dinner off with a crab salad over my garden lettuce.

This is Calico Beans (doctored up a little with a lot more ground turkey than in the recipe.) My sister gave me the recipe and I fixed it as stated for a big picnic last summer and it was a hit! Also here is sautéed zucchini and onions and a leaf lettuce salad, all from garden.

I've included the Calico Bean Recipe below. Gosh, I hope it's not a secret of my sister's!!

Calico Beans

The name comes from the 3 kinds of beans used.

A 16 oz can each of kidney beans, butter beans and pork and beans.

1/2 LB ground meat, browned.

Add beans

2Tbsp molasses, 2 Tbsp mustard

1/2 cup onion chopped, 1/2 tsp chilli powder

salt and pepper to taste

1/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar

10 bacon slices cut and browned

1/4 cup BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup

Heat together on stove in a soup pot then bake in oven for an hour.

Great picnic item!

Well, that's my contribution for this week. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up. (I really don't cook), but the garden is making me : ))

Happy Friday everyone.
