Summer Veggies are Here!


I am so excited about this week's lot of vegetables (and fruit)! There is nothing unusual, just good ole summer veggies (and fruit).

This week I got:
1 head of lettuce
1 pound of green beans
5 large carrots
3 beautiful large tomatoes
1 yellow onion
1 red onion
2 zucchini
1 yellow squash
1 bunch of arugula
AND
1 cup of blackberries

Yeah!! I'm so excited! Last night I made a Chicken and Rice Casserole, using the squash and zucchini. It was quite yummy. Everyone liked it. Princess even ate 2 servings! We also sliced up one of the tomatoes and ate it with a little salt and fresh ground pepper. I love a nice ripe tomato!

I'm also super excited about the blackberries.
Tomorrow night I'm making Chicken and Arugula Pita Pockets with Arugula Pesto, a Giada recipe. I don't typically like arugula that much because it's a little bitter. But hopefully the olive oil, Parmesan, and garlic in the pesto will tone it down a little bit. We'll see...
