Zucchini Salsa

We still have more zucchini than we know what to do with so I found a salsa recipe that used 10 cups of zucchini, which is really only 4 or 5 zucchini, but it made a dent in our pile.

Unfortunately only the zucchini came from our garden, our tomatoes are still green and the green peppers aren't ready yet. I plan on making another batch of salsa when I can use mainly vegetables from our garden.
All cut up, simmering, and making the house smell like a Mexican restaurant.


The recipe made 10 pints of salsa and some leftover to eat right now. YUM!

Colorado Vacation



When I asked Clara today what her favorites things from vacation were she said:


1. Swimming


2. The elevator


3. The swing in the air (ski lift)

Our Garden is Exploding With Zucchini

Lately, when we try and take a photo of Clara she will either turn from the camera or give us this face.


Luckily, we got her to laugh in this photo.

We checked our garden on Friday before we left for Colorado, we had 4 or 5 small zucchini, not ready to be picked yet. When we came home today and checked our garden, we have more huge zucchini than we know what to do with. I'm ready for fried zucchini! Sweet corn is almost ready, we have small cucumbers, tons of blooms on our tomatoes, the peas are finally growing, the butternut squash is taking over the garden, and the green peppers are growing, but still have ways to go.
