We made it back from our little vacation on Sunny Island. It was warm, perfect weather and relaxing. When we got home there was some gardening that needed to be attended, but more importantly, tons of produce and flowers. I won't bore you too much with that stuff yet...
But there was one big surprise waiting for us when we got home! A cucumber!
First of the season, with probably a million more to come based on the blossoms. We had a delicious cucumber sandwich for lunch today. I will post more on this later. But I want to do a quick recap of our delicious food while out on the island.
A usual stand-by for us here is tortellini, sausage, broccoli and brussel sprouts. But, our broccoli isn't ready yet, and we didn't get any at the farmers market, so I had to come up with something else. And what was ready in our garden was Dinosaur Kale and Peas. So we changed up the veggies in the original, and brought it to Sunny Island.
Cooking up the Kale with garlic on our camp stove.
Final product and better then the original recipe!
We made bruschetta with the white bean and scallion dip I made and local Parmesan and tomatoes.
And our favorite dinner was the steak tips (local of course).
Getting the mushrooms and onions ready for grilling.
Marc cooking up steak tips and veggies on the fire pit.
Final product with home grown salad greens, homemade pasta salad (with our fresh peas) and Marc's family recipe for tomato salad. Perfect summer meal.
And just a couple shots of the garden when we got home, growing strong.
