One of my favorite things to do with the zucchini and summer squash abundance from my garden: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/zucchini-sweet-potato-fritters. I use orange yams, not the yellow sweet potatoes, for the added color and because that's what I usually buy. I add fresh shredded parmesan thanks to another recipe I read and I use the pancake plate in my waffle iron to make them nice and symmetrical and avoid the mess of frying.

The evolutionary path of yesterday's jam-making labels from strawberry-rhubarb to st-berry rhubarb to straw-barb which I like as a play on my name so I'm stopping there.

I grew the strawberries and some of the rhubarb and the rest of the rhubarb is from a friend. Eat local!

I have a friend who needs pureed foods for a while post-surgery. I've made a broccoli soup, African yam/peanut, and today it's vichyssoise. What's your favorite creamy soup recipe? Vegetarian or vegan, or easy to substitute; no lactose, walnuts, pecans, or pineapple.

I mashed up https://www.cilantroandcitronella.com/vegan-vichyssoise/ + https://www.lettyskitchen.com/vegan-vichyssoise/. Now making leek chips for the first time to use the tops. https://delishably.com/vegetable-dishes/What-Can-You-Do-With-Left-Over-Leeks-Make-Leek-Chips#gid=ci02aedd2a00002643&pid=what-can-you-do-with-left-over-leeks-make-leek-chips-MTc0ODU3NDk1ODc2MTUxMDU1. #recipes #TodaysRecipe #RecipeOfTheDay #vegetarian #vegan #VegetarianRecipe

Still waiting, but they'll wait another day or so because I'm tired--I grew lots of peppers! Going to make this relish https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/chili-pepper-recipes/sauces/hot-pepper-relish/ with a mix of the sweet and ancho chilis I grew, pickled pepperoncinis, and my Fresno chilis are also going gangbusters so I may make sriracha https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/chili-pepper-recipes/hot-sauces/homemade-sriracha-hot-sauce-recipe/.

Closing out the weekend with a mini photo essay in three pix and a recipe. Picked over 5 lb of tomatillos in the last 3 days so I made a quintuple batch of this recipe. Added juice of half a lime at the end and put the chopped cilantro in fresh after the seasoning phase (second cooking) instead of having it in the cookdown. Used a bit less cilantro than it calls for--household preferences. Delicious! https://mexicanfoodjournal.com/salsa-verde/ #recipes #food #cooking #gardening #RecipeOfTheDay #TodaysRecipe
