The best time of the year is when you rarely need to stock up from the supermarket and instead just step out into the backyard and pick or dig what goes on your plate. Its not too hard to build up a basic garden for summer salads, even if you don’t want to go all out with a massive enterprise! It really lightens the load on the budget
Tonight was one of our scrappy dinners, as is usual when the hard working husband comes off a night shift. I just grabbed some fresh salad items – lettuce, tomato, cucumber, heirloom capsicum with a bit of basil to make it more exciting…
We had a good corn harvest from the garden this year. We have been scoffing down corn like it was going out of fashion! Nothing better than biting into a fresh juicy cob of corn!!
I have frozen several cobs and also cut the kernels off the not so perfect cobs to save space in the already bulging freezers!
This made it easy to add a chicken sweet corn soup to the dinner menu, toast up a bit of home made bread and we’re done.
