I can’t even begin to describe how happy I am eating those first few salads from the garden. Do you agree? After months of heavy food, after weeks of planting, waiting and watching, you get to munch on those first veggies from your garden. 

What are you eating from your garden, my friends? I love hearing from all of you, especially when you send garden pictures. What are some of your favorite recipes you return to each year when the garden is in full swing?

I think I’ve eaten my body weight in fried summer squash sandwiches over my lifetime. My grandmother is still one of the most frugal women I’ve ever met. And that abundance of zucchini and yellow squash never went to waste. Fried squash sandwiches were the summertime lunch of choice when you were at Gigi’s house growing up. They’re still a favorite of mine.
