Yum

I'm really not much of a cook. In fact, it's downright laughable that I am even attempting to post about food I have created, but then again you can't grow unless you stretch yourself, right? I have never really enjoyed cooking, but I DO enjoy eating tasty, healthy food. AND we've had access to some fresh garden goodness this summer, so I've been experimenting. I should post each of these separately, but that would take forever, so here you go.

Veggie Pasta

While boiling up the whole wheat pasta, I cooked up some garlic and onion in a skillet with olive oil, then added a cucumber (would also be great with zuchinni) and grape tomatoes until they were just warm and tender - not soggy. Then I tossed in some fresh basil. Added sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. Ate it with Pumpernickle bread and hummus. Brad asked me to make it again!

Bella-Burgers

Marinated a couple of GIANT portobella mushrooms in some soy sauce, fresh minced garlic, and cracked black pepper (would have been good with some EVOO as well but I forgot to add it). Grilled on my little foreman. Topped with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, spicy mustard. Thick and hearty - nice alternative to ground beef!

Zuchinni Bread

I forgot to take pictures of the bread. The squash pictured were given to me by my neighbor - they're HUGE! I had ONE like that from my garden before the bugs killed it - and that one alone yielded 8 CUPS of shredded zuchinni. I made 3 dozen muffins and a loaf (from just the one zuchinni!) with a recipe from this blog . I adapted it by using half whole wheat flour and a little less sugar. It was great!
