it's been a while.

due to a request from my one reader, jessica. i will start posting again. 

a lot has been happening in our house lately. james 'les' rorick has moved in for the summer but has decided to stay for good. gretchen and paul came to visit, we had a party etc. etc. etc. 

i will update with one meal i made when the whole family was together (les, keighty, raul and alisa) 

it was on wednesday when i got the fresh batch of csa veg. we finally got dill instead of parsley. and some beautiful beets. 

for les' first day i made stuffed zucchini. 

1.5 pounds of zucchini -- it was about three zucchinis halved then sliced in half - like boats
1.5 cups of bread crumbs
2 oz shredded cheddar cheese - i used gouda because that's all august had.
.25 cup minced onion - i used the spring onions that came in my csa
2 tbls chopped dill
1.25 tsp salt
.25 cups grated parmesan cheese - and a little extra for the top!
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbls butter, diced - i actually had no butter so i skipped it, it was still great. 
 
preheat oven to 350 degrees
boil the zuccs until tender about 15 minutes. careful. they're ridiculously hot so put them on a dish outside next to the 90/94 freeway to cool. 
when they're done being hot, carefully scoop out the zucc flesh and save it in a bowl. now you have six zucc boats!
mix zucc flesh, bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, onion, dill, salt, most of the parmesan, the gouda and the egg. Mix it up! fill up the zucc boats and sprinkle them with more cheese - both kinds! 
bake in the oven for 30 minutes, just check - you'll know. 

unfortunately, this was the week i felt like writing a blog was dumb. but i've seen the light and i'm happy to be back. but that all means that there are no pictures. but you can use your imaginations. 

in other news my garden is doing great. we had a side dish of green beans last night for dinner. and there are so many more!
i'll give you that recipe too. 

green bean side dish.

plant green beans.
wait.
pick.
sautee and serve.

hope everyone is well.

love,
keighty
