For Dinner Tonight?

I'm not sure what to do today. I got too hot, and it kind of ruined my appetite. At least we had a nice brunch (I had chicken and waffles) with friends.

Something light.

Tonight was scrambled eggs, tomatoes sliced on the side. Tomorrow, I plan to cook some of the tomatoes for spaghetti sauce. We're overloaded. I love having that problem.

Now that's a problem I can live with.

For the past week it's been "what will I cook to go with my zucchini tonight?" Four big ones in the fridge and at least five more nearly ready in the garden. Mom has got to learn to like zucchini......I can't keep up with it anymore. I'm eating so much of it my blood test last week for the rheumatologist showed blood potassium levels about 5-6 points higher than an identical test done only 2 months ago.

Zucchini bread might be a way to sneak some into your mom. It isn't the healthiest thing, but it is delicious. I've put pesto on lightly cooked zoodles, and it's delicious. You can pickle it too. If you're into canning, the pickles will last for months.

Tonight we had lump crab meat (which was a fantastic price) on pasta. I made a really light sauce out of some of the tomatoes. It was fantastic. There are leftovers for tomorrow.

That sounds so good.

Scallops with garden grown potatoes and squash on the side. Nice and refreshing after a hard day of fencing.

That does sound good. Sushi with a cheap white.

BLTs! I've been making tomato sauce for a couple days, and the plants are still going crazy. So, it's time to get down to some serious T eating.

Sounds like a plan.

Homemade eggplant parmesan. I wasn't sure I knew what I was doing, but it turned out just fine. I am impressed with the garden tomato sauce. I didn't even skin the tomatoes. I cooked them and whirred them up in the blender. Worked out great.

Mom's tomato plants are going nuts right now too....along with my zucchini. Still eating it every night....with tomatoes on the side.

Am I turning green and red yet?

Ours have just about petered out due to the heat.

I picked 27 today. They got put in the blender and made into gumbo.

Spaghetti with sauce made from garden tomatoes/basil.

That sounds wonderful.

Spaghetti is always better the next day.

BLTs!

Broiled salmon, green beans, and pesto pasta. Made the pesto with some of the forrest of basil in the garden.

Well you're a head of me if even it I did use shrimp.  Angel hair pasta nest with sauteed shrimps and veggies.  Fresh basil.  White wine was the tipple.

Shrimp in garlic sauce. I had wine for the recipe, but I didn't like it so much in the glass. There was nothing wrong with it. Just had a flavor I didn't like so much. Tasted fine in the sauce though. Weird.

Happens sometimes. Recipe sounds great.

Today was simple. Cheesy potato casserole and salad on the side. Finally getting to the bottom of the garden potatoes. I will miss them when they're gone.

I know what you mean.
