Yes, there is the word "grow" in my blog title. I'm not talking about growing around the middle either. I don't really have a lot of space to grow much. In fact, most of my gardening is done in pots. Why? Well, there's the pool that just about takes up the entire backyard. There's also Bella, the dog. You'll learn lots about Bella...be patient. To sum it up, lack of space + digging dog = pots.
Right now my garden of pots is full of blooming tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and herbs. By summer, there will be some good eatin' going on. Here are a few pics I took this morning. No, I don't eat Louisiana Irises. They were too pretty not to include.
This was my breakfast. Jealous? Don't be. This is a healthy and easy recipe that you can make fresh every morning. Better yet, double the batch to save for another busy morning in your week. Let's get the recipe out of the way so I can do a proper introduction. Shall we?
Eggs and Zucchini
1/4 cup onions
1/2 of a zucchini
2 eggs
chopped basil
s&p to taste
heat up a skillet and throw a little olive oil in. swirl it around. saute your onions until light brown. throw in the zucchini. cook for a couple more minutes. dump the veggies out in a plate. cook the eggs in the same skillet to your liking (scrambled, sunny side up, etc). place the eggs over the veggies. sprinkle with fresh basil.
OK, enough about my breakfast. I am starting this little blog to pass some time while I wait for a teaching position to open up in the fall. I live in south Louisiana, where I love to garden, cook, and eat. I have a partner/husband and two young boys. We try to eat fresh, local, and healthy every day.
