It's What's for Dinner

One of my favorite things about the garden is being able to go out, pick some vegetables and have them in our dinner about an hour later. Here are a couple recent dishes where at least 50% of the meal came from the garden. The first is a chickpea pasta with cashew cheese (also with basil from the herb pots outside) and kale (from the garden) and cherry tomatoes (unfortunately not from the garden this year). On the side is roasted eggplant, zucchini and green peppers, all from the garden...

The second dish is a kale pesto that also has oregano and basil from the garden that is going to go on a sourdough, tofu, zucchini sandwich for dinner tonight...

Finally, with our endless supply of cucumbers, I made a cucumber, pineapple salad with lime juice and cilantro (recipe courtesy of my friend Leatha)...
