HARVEST TIME!

Fall is my absolute  favorite season! So much to do and never enough time to get it all done, but what fun to try! We went to our garden out at Grandma and Grandpa's on Monday and brought home lots of summer squash. I was able to freeze most of it and some I used up in a great recipe I found online. 

You layer sliced squash and sliced tomatoes in a shallow dish about 2 times or more if you have lots of people to feed. It was only dad and I so I only layered twice. Then I put sliced red onions on top. It called for green onions but I made do with what I had. Then I mixed about 2 Tablespoons of olive oil and 4 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar along with salt and pepper. I poured this over my veggies and cooked in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes. It was great!

Well anyway, that's how I took care of the squash. Yesterday I went up to the 5-mile garden and brought home lots of tomatoes and 3 huge yellow and red onions. The red onions were the size of softballs! I made a tomato basil soup with 3 pounds of the tomatoes and it was delicious. I didn't have heavy cream but when I looked up a substitute it told me to mix butter and milk. Who knew? I had previously used up some tomatoes in a salsa recipe that I found online. Hoping it's good. 

I had book club last night and when I got home dad was just finishing up 3 pints of green beans that he got from our garden in the back yard! And he says there's lots more coming on! 

As I said, I love the fall and I love harvest time! Making do with what the Lord blesses us with is awesome!
