Zucchini - Tomato Frittata

Every few days I have been making a crock pot of steel cut oats, so Hubby can take his breakfast to work (or we enjoy it after the gym, and before he leaves for work).  

 



The frittatas, and other dishes fill up the remainder days.  I made a zucchini- tomato frittata recently.  The roadside produce stand still had some
zucchini (I have no idea how, but he did).  I took advantage of it, and added those tomatoes still sitting on my other kitchen table.  The green has turned to red now.  Hard to believe I'm still eating tomatoes from our own garden in November.  That is fresh chives and green onions on top too.


More collards made their way to the freezer.  I have really stepped up in storing the greens up for winter this year.  I am hoping my kale will provide just a bit more. 

I've been adding more organic turkey to our diet, and have been trying a few new recipes.  This sandwich is a turkey cutlet Monte Cristo with homemade bread.  We used brie cheese and my home canned carmalized onions.  Each slice of bread had a thin layer of dijon mustard too.  The sandwich is dipped in egg/milk, cooked in a pan first to brown, then in the oven to melt the cheese.  We'll be doing this again.  I just need to get the bread supply going soon.  Now that we are down to 3 meat eaters, I don't have to buy as much as I used too.  That's a bonus.

Yep, it sure does save money when you don't buy or cook with as much meat. We use meat sparingly as a natural thing, but seems I've been cooking a lot of company meals lately and folks who are used to eating meat think a meal is "lacking" without it. I've notice a difference in our grocery budget (not a good one!) when more meat is included!

Mama Pea, I hope to be able to raise meat birds this coming spring. I was so busy this year, I did not.

Michelle, I think my recipe is on my blog somewhere, it's 2 cups steel cut oats, 4 c. milk, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt. 2 Tbsp butter, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup chopped walnuts, and 2 apples diced (I leave skins on). I cook on low for about 4 hours. You can leave the brown sugar out and simply drizzle the cooked oats with honey too.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
