Staying busy while my daughter is away

Are you hungry? There is a lot of food on this page so bring a plate and fill up. 

It's been pretty quiet around the house the last 10 days. My daughter is gone to Ohio with her boyfriend to visit his mommy and sister. So while she was gone I thought I would stay busy cooking. I love to cook anyhow but this would be a great time to stock the pantry. Here's a few things I've been making.

Martha Stewart's Apple-honey-Challah bread. This makes a huge loaf, share and enjoy!


Zucchini Fritters


The tomatoes are starting to come in so why not make some garden fresh salsa. This wonder salsa won me a blue ribbon at the Albemarle county fair a few years back. It's delicious! I also canned some applesauce, pickles, relish and apple butter. The pantry is starting to fill up.

Applesauce

Have you ever made fruit roll-ups?  It is easy as applesauce. I made a batch and took them to work. I blinked my eyes and they were gone. 




Ahh, the wonderful site of fresh beans. Beans are one of my favorite vegetables. They are so easy to grow and produce so much. So far we've harvested 7lbs of beans and we only started picking the first week of July. Many more pounds to come. For beans, I usually freeze them instead of canning. Had a bad experience with my beans not selling one time and every since I've just froze them. 

Are you full yet? What have you made this week from the kitchen? 



Mommy misses you baby girl. Love ya :)
