A few things I’d like to share: Our garden has nearly reached it’s end- but still offering several tasty items including fresh yams/sweet potatoes, jalapenos, as well as another round of tomatoes and cukes.
Luckily the herbs are still plentiful as well with large sprigs of coriander, basil, rosemary and thyme. It’s wonderful to add fresh herbs to your food, they’re so much more flavorful than their dried counterparts.
FYI: The easiest way to plan your menu is take a look at what you have on hand and then view the weeks sales flyers for your favorite stores. If you didn’t know, we’ve compileda list of All the store flyers for every store we can think of. If your store isn’t listed, comment at the bottom of the page and we’ll add it for you.
