Fresh from the Garden!

Some of you know Eric and I have our own garden in our yard. If you came to our reception last year, you even saw the crazy pumpkin vines! Well, the beginning of them, anyway. But tonight, the benefit and greatness of the garden shined through.

Tonight, trying to figure out dinner, and trying to stay healthy, we turned to the garden. It's still early in the growing season, but we already had strawberries ready to harvest. Hmmm... what could we do with them. Well, we also have romaine lettuce and spinach ready to harvest. I'm thinking salad!! So we threw some chicken in the oven and then mixed it all up with some walnuts and blueberries we already had, throw in a little raspberry vinaigrette, and voila, an awesome summer salad to be had!

And this is only the beginnings of our garden! With all the rain we had, and now the warm weather to make those plants grow, like last year, we should have a good showing of our own fresh fruits and veggies! I can't wait!
