Joanne and I returned from our fabulous trip to the west coast of the island (read about it here and here) to find this:
We decided to make a quick lunch, from this and other bounty from the garden. With the help of these and a can of pizza sauce:
I had made some quick refrigerator pickles from my pole bean bounty, before Joanne’s arrival.
And Joanne made a quick little zucchini salad using olive oil, vinegar, garlic…and oregano and chives from my garden.
That’s it for me! And Donna is off hiking in Portugal with her husband, so no Link Party this month. She wrote about what was on her plate here before she abandoned me left.
Please let me know in the Comments what was on your plate this past month! As always, I look forward to them.
Rock on,
The WB
Am I really the first person to *like* this?! It might be because I’m 9 hours ahead of you 😉
It must be an indication of the fact I’ve had only 6 hours sleep in the past 2 days that I’m thinking I don’t remember any of this … but then the coffee finally kicked in. That meal was DELICIOUS!!!
Let’s do it again some time 💕
Anytime, my friend! I hope you are getting caught up on sleep and soon can start enjoying your trip. Thanks 💕
Lovely to catch you here, Joanne – and nice to see that you are still travelling & exploring!
Looks good! I haven’t done a whole lot of cooking with moving house, but tonight I did a big tray of roasted veggies https://thistlesandkiwis.org/2023/09/06/whats-on-your-plate-september/
Mmmmmm….it’s getting to be roasted veggie season around here soon, with our weather cooling off. Hope your move went well! Thanks 💕 I’ll be checking out your post soon!
That looks very tasty
It was quick and tasty! Thanks, Sheree 💕
That looks lovely! I’ll take a cremini mushroom pie to go…
👍
Unfortunately your location doesn’t qualify for the “30 minutes or it’s free” offer 🤣. Thanks, Rivergirl 💕
I love those pizza crust thingies. So quick and so good! I was wondering if Donna was officially “off and walking!” Nothing exciting at my house this month. Each meal is an exercise in how to bring together a good meal with the least amount of ingredients and work.
I like your style, Kate! 😁 Thank you 💕
In honor of Labor Day, we had an at home picnic of grilled hot dogs, baked beans and potato salad. Zucchini, pole beans, fresh herbs, and thin pizza crust are all more to my liking, but pleasing/bribing my MIL into submission regarding her impending relocation was my motivation for the all-American high calorie meal. She loved it.
Your Labour Day picnic reminds me of childhood summer weekends! Nothing wrong with one of those every once in a while, in my opinion. It’s nice to have more options these days, though. Thanks, Suzanne 💕
I miss pizza! I really do. I’ll have to look for those small, ready to use crusts down here south of your border.
If I can find them in my little local rinky-dink grocery store, you should be able to find them anywhere, Jean! Thanks 💕
Hi Deb – well done to you and Joanne – organising appetising looking pizzas – I’m not a fan of them … so when I go with friends to a local place in town … I usually have their ‘Warm goats cheese, with grilled vegetables on a bed of salad’ platter – but now I need an ice-cream it’s boiling hot! Late burst of summer – cheers Hilary
That salad sounds amazing! I may have to try to make my own version 😋. Keep cool, Hilary! Thanks 💕
This looks and sounds like a scrumptious meal. I like it, I want to have it, so I suppose I should hop to it. Thanks for sharing it here.
Those little pizza crusts were quite the find! They weren’t even in the bread aisle either. They were on the top shelf where the canned tomato products (including pizza sauce) are displayed. You’re welcome, Ally! Thanks 💕
Huh. Thanks. I’ll look for them.
What a delicious-looking lunch! I continue to marvel at the bounty from your garden. 😍
I hope it’s not beginner’s luck! Still getting produce every day. Thanks, Natalie 💕
I recently got an air frier which I’m having fun with. I’ve seen a few pizza recipes that I want to make – some using those pre-made crusts like yours, others using nan or some other flat bread. Your pizzas look so yummy… I am now even more determined to give it a try.
Donna made me some delicious flatbread snacks while we were in Squamish. Some veg, some cheese, some spreadable like hummus…yum yum! Happy air frying, Janis! Thanks 💕
Oh the pizza looks good! I LOVE pizza.
This one IS good. And easy! Thanks, Dawn 💕
Love those pulled together meals with what’s on hand. I thought you’d slowed down at a corner & someone threw the zucchinis in the back seat (!) before I remembered you had a garden of your own. If I don’t make my own pizza dough, I use store-bought naan bread at home. I enjoyed pork chops & onions in gravy with roasted vegs, cucumber salad, broccoli salad, green beans that lasted for a few meals last week. I was gifted some cucumbers so there was tzatziki & pita bread; chicken salad sandwiches. The other day I roasted a trout filet with lemon served with mustard beans & cucumber salad. I made borscht & baked beans (in the crock pot) yesterday so tonight was beans & bbq smokies. I was also gifted a few qts of cherry tomatoes which I roasted & will transform into a creamy tomato soup tomorrow. This seems like a lot of food. And that’s the way it goes around here – feast or famine.
I wanna live at your house, Mona 😉😁!!! My zucchini plants keep producing and I have lost count of the amount of zucchini bread and muffins I have baked in the past month. And it’s making its way into tonight’s stir fry as well. Good thing my son-in-law has a big appetite and a high metabolism 😜. Thanks 💕
Looks good! And there’s wine too! – Marty
It was a great day to be eating outside with a glass of wine to accompany supper or lunch or whatever meal it was (I forget 🤣). Thanks, Marty 💕
Courgettes (what we call zucchini in the UK) are such swines for growing rampantly when you don’t want them too. When they get really big, we call them marrow here in the UK. Do you have a different name for them when they get full size?
No, but we should! I think Demon Squash is a good one, for starters 🤣. Thanks, Debs 💕 p.s. I wonder if yours is one of the blogs I no longer get notifications for? There have been so many this summer that I am missing and I used to get regular emails. I had assumed that so many went on a summer break only to find out I have missed many a post.
Hi, Deb – Those pizzas look amazing! And your garden? It truly boogles my mind how quickly it has grown! 😀
And now you would be surprised how quickly some parts of the garden are dying back down! Thanks, my friend 💕
A very creative garden lunch! Looks delicious!
Thank you, Lillie 💕
