I bet you can’t guess what we will be doing once these hot and humid days are gone! Two dump trucks full of mulch (14 cubic yards) and more than three months after ordering it, I finally got my mulch. I contacted the place that delivered this in early May. When they didn’t bother delivering or calling me back I […]
This was a simple, fun and delicious way to use my cherry tomatoes, yellow pear tomatoes and fresh basil from our garden. We had these for an afternoon snack but you could also use them for a colorful appetizer. They are filled with a cream cheese, onion and basil filling that tasted great with the tomatoes. Wash the tomatoes and […]
One thing we plant every year in our garden is tomatoes. I used to can them but since I retired I can’t seem to find the time so we only plant enough to eat. I love cherry and pear tomatoes to snack on. Do you see how the large tomato is starting to blush on the end? We picked the […]
I am so humbled by my 11,481 followers that took my blog stats over 600,000 hits last Saturday. Who would have known that a simple country grandma like me would meet so many wonderful people just by sharing my recipes! I hope you enjoy these pictures of my Rose of Sharon Bush as much as the bees and butterflies enjoyed […]
My husband surprised me with this delicious pasta salad. He added red tomato, yellow pear tomato and cucumber, all from our garden. He also added black olives, pepperoni and cheese with the pasta. Toss with a simple Italian dressing and you have a wonderful pasta salad for any occasion. This is a Pasta Salad I made a while back. You […]
What a beautiful way to begin the summer! Come along with me as I stroll through my flower beds. Enjoy the view that I enjoy every summer. Some of these flowers are at their peak and others are at their end, but they are still beautiful enough to share. Thank you for visiting my summer garden flowers. http://www.InDianesKitchen.com
This is our flowering pear tree. I planted this as a seedling over 25 years ago. Look what is popping up in the garden. I picked my first batch of asparagus! I will continue to pick and eat it until the first week of June. Soon I will be picking rhubarb. I freeze this and use it all year long. […]
I picked the last of the herbs from our garden and I wanted to preserve them. I usually dehydrate them in my large Excalibur Dehydrator. I have already dehydrated one huge batch in it and have enough to last until next year. I couldn’t waste the remaining herbs so I thought I would dehydrate them in my Ninja Foodi to […]
How fascinating is this! I was putting away my outside Halloween decorations at my cabana and when I took the pumpkins off of the straw bales, I found this little pumpkin on there to. It looks like it already had a face on top, do you see it? This spider is called a Marbled Orb Weaver and you can see […]
Our Cabana finally arrived yesterday after waiting for two months from having it custom made. There is attached seating all along three sides and is a whopping 12′ x 20′ big! I will be ordering an eight person wood table for our picnics on it, running electric to it, installing lighting and some sort of landscaping to cover up the […]
