A couple meals partially from the garden...steemCreated with Sketch.

Had a BLT today, forgot to take a picture! But I have some pictures from the past week or two to share. One bite taken out of this BLT; the bread is gluten-free, by "Udi", and the bacon is store-bought; the rest we grew! Tomato, lettuce, and a cucumber on the side.

Note that I prepare the bread, which makes it much better than "normal". It's fairly simple: I have a very fine sprayer (a "mister" perhaps?) with water in it, and spray four times on each side of the bread, then toast it. This makes it crisp without being too hard; I'm really happy to have found this method! Gluten-free bread tends to be a little denser than other bread to begin with, and toasting it usually makes it even harder, so this works great. :)

A boxed Indian meal, with added chopped onions (store-bought); and, from the garden, tomatoes, cucumbers, and hot peppers, with chives as garnish on top. The first picture shows the box it came in; second is close-up of the meal:

This was really good, and the hot pepper made it even better! I'm pretty sure I used two peppers for that meal, one lemon drop pepper, and one Serrano pepper. Saved the seeds as well, and plan to give them away somehow, over the winter.

Enjoy!

This is perfect meal :D

Yummy good food - a good selection of fresh from the garden - do you grow salad radish? They are really fast like ready in 3- 4 weeks and are super raw food with great health benefits.

THANK YOU!

I remember your name from when you were hacked recently, and I had unfollowed you. I have now re-followed you after seeing your comments page referencing that event. My apologies for my reaction, if I harmed.

Thank you very much for refollowing me. I can understand why the situation made you nervous. 🌹

Food from the garden. Yeah!!!!! That rocks.
I love lentils too. Good source of protein.

Now if you could grow bacon in the garden too, I would consider being a vegetarian.

My sister was a vegetarian for a few years, when she was a young adult. Her first non-vegetable item? Bacon! :)

What I've enjoyed most, though, is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it!

Way to use those garden veggies! Thanks for the tip about spraying the gluten free bread before you toast it. We eat it too so I'm definitely going to try your method!

Yes! Please let me know how it works out.

good pictures good food
