I know, another post about canning. And fresh, REAL food.
I do feel super blessed at the bounty we’ve had this week. Including dozens of eggs, even some from our spring chicks! So exciting!
I’ve canned 16 quarts of corn, which will taste SO GOOD this winter.
I’ve cooked so much fresh food.
I will be canning tomatoes tomorrow.
Last night, I cut up some yellow squash and fried it. YUM. I have fried green tomatoes as well. I know, fried food, but really I fry it in olive oil and with a very light corn meal breading. What’s not to love?
Cabbage and Corned Beef, Fresh Black-eyed Peas, Fried Green Tomatoes
Let’s chat: What is your favorite summer meal or fresh vegetable?
Wow! That bounty and all you’ve done with it, is impressive!!!!

We are blessed! As for what I’ve done, I don’t show y’all the pics of the canner after I let it run out of water. Imagine the scorched smell from a regular pot boiling times 1,000. š
If you are concerned about frying, an alternative to frying that I’ve used in the past is to bake breaded veggies on a lightly greased cookie sheet in the oven. I’ve done this with zucchini on a cookie sheet lightly oiled with olive oil and it was delish! The thinner the veggies the crispier they get!
Thank you, Susan, for this reminder! Yes, this is a great and healthier alternative! I love to do this with sweet potatoes too cut like french fries.
