One of the things we were super excited about in our new house were the ready-made garden beds outside and the abundance of herbs scattered about the yard.  We planted tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, squash and tried a cantaloupe.  Admittedly, we cheated this year with starters but we are still very proud of our blooming little guys!

 

We had our first taste of garden love when we made this light, yummy summer dinner.  We used our own mint and basil…but the zucchini isn’t ready yet and we don’t have peas.  With or without your own garden goods, there will be a party in your mouth!
