from garden to table

Yesterday I went to the garden after being away the whole weekend and we got some new exciting veggies. Some peppers and a big tomato. We have actually been robbed on many big tomatoes lately by a stubborn bird that seems to get into our plants. We have tried to put up netting over the plants but with no luck. We finally got one before the bird snagged it up for dinner and there is one more as of right now that is still on the vine, so I'm heading over there tomorrow to make sure we're the ones who snag it up this time. We used the tomato tonight for our dinner when we made BLT's. So yummy! Recipe to follow.

Yesterdays harvest. 
BLT + Avocado Recipe: 

Bacon (the B in BLT)
Lettuce (the L in BLT)
Tomato (the T in BLT) 
Avocado 
Bread
Mayonnaise (optional)

Fry the bacon and let it sit on a paper towel so that the grease can soak up. Rip some lettuce of an Iceberg lettuce head. Slice a big tomato. Slice the Avocado. Roast the bread. Put some mayonnaise on the slices of bread. 

homegrown tomatoes and delicious avocado

The crispier the better! 

The finished product. It may not sound like much, but it is so great! TRY IT!

That is it for now, enjoy your evening!
