When I arrive home, my garden brings a smile to my face. Especially with all the extra rain we have had, my flowers are looking gorgeous. But the reward I get from actually getting to eat the bounty is even better...
Fresh lettuce and strawberries from our garden
with homemade lemon poppy seed dressing
and shredded swiss cheese.
Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing
1/3 c. lemon juice
1/4 c. honey
2 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
1 tsp. dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp poppy seeds
Zucchini Noodles
I did not plant zucchini this year, but now that I have learned this awesome substitute for pasta, I am sure I will be planting some next year. I am always on the lookout for substitutes to my favorite carbs that actually taste good. My friend introduced me to making zucchini noodles using a spiralizer after she attended a raw cooking class. The spiralizer is easy to use and only costs $30 on Amazon! I have been using it like crazy. You can steam or saute the zucchini noodles, but I have just been eating them raw.
Click on the picture below for a great recipe for peanut zucchini noodles that taste like phad thai. So good!
I know I have been quite remiss in posting lately! I have several projects that I have been working on and haven't had time to post. Okay, maybe I have been spending lots of time reading, too. I am finishing up some large projects (including a bathroom remodel) and look forward to posting lots of pictures.
