Our very first harvest was a few weeks ago.
Hot Portugal pepper and Tiny Tim cherry tomatoes
San Marzano plum
Hot Portugal, Bell Boy green pepper, San Marzano, Tiny Tim, Brandy Wine and our very first zucchini!!
Last week we BBQ'd up some sliders. (Not to be confused with the turkey & pasta soup/stew) They are mini hamburgers, often served in restaurants as an appetizer. We love them as a meal, and a great place to showcase a fresh tomato!!
Now this Brandy Wine is very strange looking...
Weird shape, but who cares? Still will taste great!!
Look how meaty & juicy it looks!!
Sliders are cooked...
...and dressed. Oh boy were they yummy with that fresh tomato on top!!
One day for breakfast, I whipped up a couple of tomato sandwiches. Lettuce (not from my garden) and Miracle Whip added as well.
Brandy Wine tomato
Can't wait to dig into this!! And...oh...wow....it was delicious!!
Today for lunch, I cooked up some bacon thinking I'd make bacon & eggs, fresh from the chicken coop. But when I saw that ripe tomato hanging on the vine, I had to change my mind! What a decision...fresh eggs, fresh tomato? Figured I'd do both, but in the end we settled for the most incredible BLTs in the world!! (ok, so I tend to exaggerate...but they were incredibly delicious!!)
Look at that mound of bacon...like Emeril says...pork fat rules! (big grin!!)
The makings for a perfect BLT
Top both slices of toast with Miracle Whip
Add slices of tomato and top with salt & fresh ground pepper.
Top with bacon...
Add lettuce...
...top with the last slice of toast and slice in 1/2.
Perfection...to be enjoyed with a glass of ice cold milk!!
So these are a couple of ways we've been enjoying the harvest of our gardens to date! Can't beat anything you grow yourself out in your own garden. :)
What do you have growing that you're serving in the kitchen?
