Zucchini & Eggplants & Cucumbers, Oh My!

Remember a few weeks ago, I was lamenting the fact that the little chipmunk was eating my garden out from under me, and I would not have anything to eat or can? Well, I was wrong. In the last few days, all of a sudden, the garden is overflowing with wonderful vegetables!

I started cooking about noon, preparing a spaghetti sauce for the freezer. I also used a small amount in my stuffed zucchini for tonight’s meal. But I have to tell you, I had forgotten how much work went into making the sauce, making the stuffed zucchini, and then the worst part, cleaning it all up!

The sauce is a wonderful thing. I freeze it, and then in the winter when I do not feel like cooking, out comes a container of sauce, we boil up spaghetti and there is dinner!

Hubby made his German Cucumber Salad and used up about 4-5 cucumbers. Bless him! I am not a fan of that salad (cucumbers & onions sliced very thin, oil and red wine vinegar and salt, pepper and dill), but I am grateful he is using up the cukes!

TonightI am feeling pretty tired. Call me an old lady! But all the cooking and cleaning, has me looking at the clock just waiting for bedtime!

Worst thing about it all….I have to do more of it tomorrow! Oh well, at least the eggplant are coming in and I can have those sweet delicious goodies for lunch!

  1. Looks so good. I wish mine looked as good. I need a sunnier yard. Oh well, I do enjoy whatever I get and it looks like plenty of Cucumbers, but I am not making hubby’s cucumber salad. LOL! Love YOU, Mel

  2. Oh, I love how big your zucchinis are! Mine are not really growing šŸ™ I don’t know what I am doing wrong.

    Also, if you want to put a little twist on the German cucumber salad, replace the red wine vinegar with white vinegar and add a splash of whipping cream to the dressing. My favorite šŸ™‚
