Gardening and Roasted Green Tomatoes

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Gardening. My mother is the gardner, and oh boy does she grow a garden. Then she cans and freezes, and makes jams, and yummy soups and sauces for the winter. She is passionate about it.  I just play at it. But I do enjoy having organic fresh herbs and veggies to pick and eat through the summer.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My mom has probably thousands of tomatoes growing and gave some green ones to me yesterday to fry up. Although I LOVE fried green tomatoes, Luis and I are really sticking to healthy eating and somehow fried green tomatoes don't fit. So I decided to roast them, and they were yum, yum, yummy! What a great, healthy alternative to fried green tomatoes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGa02uXP8s_NuVOWh4mh4w6SU_H4UMHDfVe0tTTdCOX_E3NaUTyYoTUObxUDGapQ8uuzTZzoP2J1S-xX-F1Khyphenhyphen0_qLGmGETE_solw8m_E5EU2BI5tCcHmgrUfPUjNK3JMisUtVhlEuwPg/s1600/garden1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGa02uXP8s_NuVOWh4mh4w6SU_H4UMHDfVe0tTTdCOX_E3NaUTyYoTUObxUDGapQ8uuzTZzoP2J1S-xX-F1Khyphenhyphen0_qLGmGETE_solw8m_E5EU2BI5tCcHmgrUfPUjNK3JMisUtVhlEuwPg/s640/garden1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All I did was wash them and slice them up with a purple onion my mom also grew then toss them with olive oil and sea salt. Spread them out evenly on a baking sheet then bake in the oven for around 30 minutes. I do most veggies this way from sweet potatoes, to cauliflower. Tonight, I'll be roasting organic zucchini from my garden to go with baked salmon.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXWXaG1aYYV9_9yRVjWtkK3VYvsA4TK4g3vDLE_ePczKIaEX9mpmKSI5_olaHVwQ6ckm_3vvxTxaq9R4_7bosKPqQE1825vwFHpMr_qS_z2bRyJLZw0ilw9pHe5-Xuz9plV61SWF0EZew/s1600/garden2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXWXaG1aYYV9_9yRVjWtkK3VYvsA4TK4g3vDLE_ePczKIaEX9mpmKSI5_olaHVwQ6ckm_3vvxTxaq9R4_7bosKPqQE1825vwFHpMr_qS_z2bRyJLZw0ilw9pHe5-Xuz9plV61SWF0EZew/s640/garden2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />I try to cook things that are fresh, easy, simple and healthy. I cannot wait until our hens start laying so we can have fresh eggs.<br /><br />In the meantime, I have been busy finishing up a project in the kitchen which literally involved taking this kitchen way back in time. You will see the difference in this sneak peek if you have seen the kitchen before. I can't wait to share that.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju0ungTMFcCUdSk9JYCqsQBidwXkvqQd0OgyClP3yGraS5JjMRrAsNYaboSsmrwTJBrqH2sqXkuuX9g2g06WtnK45FXtBkNjBTqufbvXQsDkvRC_3Jq9mO5J3xtt9BveFhn3hI3DMUy5w/s1600/2012kitchenblue1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="576" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju0ungTMFcCUdSk9JYCqsQBidwXkvqQd0OgyClP3yGraS5JjMRrAsNYaboSsmrwTJBrqH2sqXkuuX9g2g06WtnK45FXtBkNjBTqufbvXQsDkvRC_3Jq9mO5J3xtt9BveFhn3hI3DMUy5w/s640/2012kitchenblue1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />I hope you are having a great weekend!
