Garden delights

I'm going to blog about food. We have had some success with our garden this year-first time we've ever planted one! We've had a ton of tomatoes, basil and oregano, and then of course, the 20 lb. zucchini! We're still waiting on the chilis. What to do with all of it? Well, I'll tell you!
With the tomatoes: gaspacho, salsa, salads-my favorite being the caprese with basil and fresh mozzarella!
With the zucchini: bread, cookies with lemon frosting, in pasta salads and green salads and its own salad-in ribbons and as a slaw, grilled, roasted with garlic, sauteed.
With the basil and oregano: on pizza, in pasta dishes, in salads.

It's been such a joy to just go out and get the herbs and veggies from my yard and then eat them! It's been delicious!
