Jul. 28, 2008 - The Kitchen Is A Buzz
Lastnight we had the pleasure of dining with our friends the Crains. It was nice; low key and quiet... Did I mention our children went to a different restaraunt with others? Hee hee. They did indeed! While the children partied mexican style at the local Aldebertos we headed to a quiet coffee house (which shall remain nameless, lest we decided to hide away again)  and had a bite. After our meal we all met back at the Crains' home. We spent a few minutes looking at the garden (very inspiring!) and a few more minutes packing some bags of garden goodies to take home. Here is SOME of the beautiful produce we came home with.
The basil you see in front is from Katey's plant in the yard. I didn't even photograph the 5 pounds of tomatoes!
We also were given cherry toms from Sis. Joanne!
I am trying to be a better stewerd of what we are given (and buying for that matter), so this morning I put on a crockpot for sauce, mmm, I can't wait!
Of course while in the kitchen I decided to get a few more chores taken care of, like the green beans I've had stashed in the outside fridge.
Hmmm, time to wake those girls up! No sense going it alone right!!??
Soon the kitched was a buzz.... There was bean snapping, zuch shredding, jars boiling.... I feel so Country-fried on days like these!
Katey is making a zucchini pizza crust... This is such a simple and yummy way to use up any extra (zuchs) you may have...
2-3 cups shredded zuch
2 eggs
a handful of flour...
mix it all up in a bowl and pat on a oil pizza pan
Bake at 400 for about 8-10 minutes and cool.... Top with all the summer veggies you like, fresh or frozen! (We also like cheese)... no sauce needed.
This so sooo good!
Even the "BOYS" like it!!
