Friday: What's Cooking In The Kitchen...

Back to being in the kitchen and couldn't be more excited! We have been gone for the past week visiting Kevin's little brother Bradley in Orlando, FL and also traveled up to Jacksonville for Kay and Matt's Wedding. Many pictures to come and more about our trip later!

I came back to a very full and beautiful garden, thanks to our neighbors who watered it daily for us! We have an almost ripe roma tomato and some broccoli sprouting. The squash plants are huge but no sign of of them yet an the strawberries are doing great! Pictures to come later this week for the garden as well!

I have been feeling a little under the weather since we returned home on Tuesday so other than going to work I have been sleeping and relaxing a lot. Trying to get more rest in today as this weekend we are helping friends move and celebrating the WORLD CUP!!!

While we were gone we preordered from Door to Door Organics so that we could come home to a box of fresh fruits and veggies. It arrived Tuesday afternoon and contained the most wonderful organic produce! Time to get creative because I have never cooked turnips, beets, or collard greens!

In the Kitchen:

1. Crockpot Cheese Enchiladas: for dinner tonight - click on the name for the recipe, so easy to make and all things I randomly had in my kitchen! love that.

2. Collard Greens: these were actually made last night (thursday) for dinner - I used an onion (from the box) and the collard greens we received and sauted the onion with garlic in a little EVOO then added the greens. turned out GREAT! I served it with homemade pesto pasta and garlic cheese bread! YUM! We are having this for lunch today as well, can't wait!~

Well back to researching these yummy veggies and relaxing. Watch for some posts this week on our FL trip and the garden!
