So far, so good! Haven't had any casualties and everything is looking pretty good! There is even one small green tomato already!
The additional herb garden, ok, hanging herb gardens, have already come in handy. I made quite the kickass potato salad yesterday with not only dill, but chives and parsley too, since I had them!

Deliciousness to be had yet again!
Corn bread...grilled eggplant, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese with homemade basil pesto....crab stuffed mushrooms and crockpot pork bbq!
My family sure is lucky that I like to cook!
My other half is a great daddy to our dogs.....there's meals to make, walks to take, poop to pick up....it's very similar to having kids without having to pay for a college education!
For him, sugary cereal might as well be a food group, it's a staple in his diet, so what better breakfast to make on this Fathers day but Cap’n Crunch French Toast Recipe - Food.com - 413072
And let me say it did not disappoint. It is really good! And with syrup, very sweet. Thank goodness I made some bacon too! And the Screwdrivers we drank along side were tasty as well & helped balance out all that sugar for me!
I was able to find texas toast bread and it really held up to the cream and egg mixture. I would say that is a must for this.
Now off to my parents to make a more savory meal for them!
I love the days I can spend prepping and cooking and simmering!
The morning started with cleaning out the freezer which uncovered 2 bags of chicken scraps so chicken stock was made. Nothing fancy, chicken bones and scraps and a couple carrots and onions taking a very long bath. Sure makes the house smell good!
Hummus. One of the easiest things to make. Tahini, chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice...all blended into creamy goodness. I have to admit this was my first time making it and it rocked! It definitely got better as it sat. At first I could still taste the tahini but the flavor blends in after a few hours.
My new favorite make from scratch is granola. I use a recipe from Pam Anderson as a base and then add some extras. Yum!
Lastly came lasagna for dinner based off of the Pioneer Woman's "Best lasagna ever" recipe and it's my go to recipe now.
