As much as I love gardening I do realize that I must make sure to use the produce I grow and once it starts growing, it can become overwhelming and so the challenge(s) begins…. and to think the tomatoes haven’t even started to ripen yet!
So today I sat back and looked at what I had from the garden – peas, green beans, zucchini, pearl cucumber, basil, chives, yellow scallop squash and flowers 🙂 The pearl cucumber is Wonderful … very crisp and right on for a cucumber. I was thinking there would be a weird taste but Nope … cucumber all the way!
The yellow scallop squash we are saving for a stir fry tomorrow, but dang looking at the garden earlier there seems to be like a ton of them growing all the sudden so ONE ain’t no big deal ….
Now……… for the Garden Fresh Quiche I whipped up this morning! I used Five garden ingredients … peas, green beans, zucchini, basil and chives
The peas and green beans I simmered in a bit of water for just a few minutes and then sauteed the zucchini with the chives and basil. I used a store bought pie crust because they are so simple, so next all the veggies went into the crust
I added a cup of shredded cheddar cheese and a cup of fake eggs … egg beaters It looks beautiful and healthy BUT it needs some ZIP! More spices, some hot sauce, a bit of pepper not sure, but will work on it. I am open to all ideas, so please let me know what you think. It is pretty darn healthy don’t ya think

Thank YOU so much for your kind words! I looked at your site and it is very informative … I will read more – very nice! I have grown various herbs in the past and plan to have a major herb garden when we move down south. I have started many many lavender plants and hope to grow a nice lavender garden also. Wonderful meeting you!
