Home harvests..

With busy times at the moment, it is heartwarming to walk out to the vegie garden at the end of the day and harvest items for that night's dinner.

Sunday's harvest:broccoli, small cauliflower, young cabbage, snowpeas and eggs.



This mornings forage: Cauliflower,4 eggs, kale, asparagus & one shallot

 
 
Budget dinner when two of the grandsons were here on Friday night consisted of beef & vege casserole topped with herby cheese dumplings.....grandson #2 went home and told his Dad that I fed them ducklings!

  1. Yes it does feel good to go out to the garden and pick food to eat with a meal. It just tastes so much better.

    That casserole looks yum Deezy! Love the grandies comment about ducklings, they are just so cute sometimes...we were lucky to have our grandson sleep over last night. I got to pack his lunch and take him off to school this morning...ahhh the simple pleasures :)

    1. Isn't it much less stress getting a grandchild off to school than one of your own children? :D

  2. Deezy, it has been hot up here in SE Qld and my broccoli is now flowering! I did freeze some a while back though thankfully. I will have to pick my last few cabbages as the bugs are getting into them. It looks like we will have a fair amount of sauerkraut to get through soon :-)

    You are doing well in your vege patch, Deezy.
