I love this time of year....

I often think that this is the "real" time of the year.  The winter is, for me, just when I am waiting for the the summer and the garden bounty, nice temperatures, sunshine, bird song... in the words of a song from the  musical, "Porgy and Bess," --- "Summertime...and the livin' is easy..."  That's how I feel.  Even though I work really hard all spring and summer and into the fall, it makes me happy.

Here is a picture of what I had for breakfast this morning.  I went out to the garden and found a very small zucchini squash, melted 1 Tablespoon of butter in a small skillet and grated the zucchini into it.  I sauteed that for a little while.  Then, I took 2 of the tiny itty bitty eggs from our baby chickens that have just begun to lay, and scrambled them in a small bowl with a bit of water, some salt and pepper.  I poured that over the zucchini and cooked it together.  Then I put a 1 ounce slice of marble cheese on top, turned off the heat and let it sit until the cheese was nicely melted.  I ate all of that with a cut up nectarine.  Oh, it was so good.  Come over and I'll fix some for you too!

  1. I would love to sit and visit with you! You are a wealth of knowledge and such a spirit of happiness. PS I do the same thing in a skillet with some eggs and cheese, what ever is fresh or leftover always goes well with egg and cheese.

  3. I liked your idea of the shredded zucchini/omelet combo so much that that's what I made for my lunch. Added a little salsa on the side and finished it with fresh Okanagon cantaloupe. Yum! Definitely a weight watchers kinda meal. Thank you. Sandy
