Day 75/365: Saturday - Garden Dinner

I LOVE GROWING A GARDEN!!  Last night I decided to be creative and make a dish out of all the veggies I picked that day.



Now mind you, the garden is just now starting to produce, so it was certainly slim pickings.  But I had a handful of beets and a couple of zucchini, enough for a dish.

First, I heated some olive oil in my fry pan.  Just as the oil heated up, I crushed some garlic into it to flavor the oil.

I sliced the beets (unpeeled) up the same size as the zucchini and threw the beets in first.  I have always boiled my beets, skinned and then sliced them, so this was something new for me.

After few minutes I tossed in the zucchini and cooked both until tender.

For the last couple of minutes of cooking, I put in the beet greens and cooked until they wilted before taking it off the heat.

I added salt, pepper and a splash of balsamic vinegar for flavoring.

It was very yummy and I will be making it again this summer.

  2. It's great to meet you Steph. 94 pounds? THAT'S AWESOME!!! I have come to accept that this journey never really has an end, just some spots are smoother while others are more bumpy. :o)

    Thanks for the compliment. I've been stuck maintaining for a year, but I am okay with that. I'm going to work hard this summer to get closer if not hit my goal! :o)
