First Garden Harvest! SQUASH!

Here is a picture of the very first veggies from our garden this year picked this morning. We will probably have them with some salad and salmon. Should be good!!! Of course, I'll have to saute some onions with them too!

One of the squash looks a little bumpy, but I am sure it will taste good!

I found some grass fed ground beef at Costco and we had burgers last night with sauteed onions and salad. The salad was loaded with 3 colors of peppers, tomatoes and lettuce. I sprinkled a little lemon and olive oil on top with a little salt and garlic powder. Also, mint added to the salad adds a unique flavor too. I use dried mint or freshly chopped mint from my garden.

and just because I have this picture too, here is a picture of one of our Arabic breakfasts. It consists of foul (which is a bean dip) and labne (yogurt cheese) and fruits and pita bread. We also had hot tea with metamea  (which is sage) in it. I grow sage in my garden too. It was delicious. The labne is decorated with mint, tomatoes and olives.

I love middle-eastern food, it is delicious and healthy!

Since I mentioned the salmon and eating the yellow squash, I had to put a picture of the meal we had tonight. We found fresh raspberries and cherries at Costco so we had those with dinner. I made a pan seared salmon and we had sauteed veggies with the squash added in. It was really yummy. We are also trying to lose some weight and bring down our cholesterol so we are trying hard to cut out a lot of carbohydrates and stay as close to natural as we can. It is so not easy to stick to this plan, but it does get easier each day. 

Hopefully I'll be adding those free range organic eggs to our diets soon too.
