Fresh from the garden

We're very lucky to have our garden producing so well in it's first year. We got 3 lbs of nectarines all at once! We ate them for days and now they're gone til next year.
This week we harvested a ton of basil and cilantro, 4 cherry tomatoes, anaheim chilis, jalapenos, onions,raspberries and strawberries.
Just email if you'd like some jalapenos. We have plenty. And here's a great salsa recipe:

Ingredients

  • 4 large tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 large purple onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • dash of cumin
  • dash of garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. chili powder
  • sea salt to taste

Directions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine everything axcept the jalapenos. Add jalapenos 2 teaspoons at a time, tasting after each addition to see how hot the salsa has become. Salt to taste. Enjoy!

3lbs of LOVE!
