veggies from momma's garden

My momma has a ton of crazy stuff growing in her garden. I wish I had a green thumb like her; too bad I killed every plant I've ever brought home. Every time I go over to the parentals' house, she wants to give me a tour of her backyard. I honestly don't like going out there. I just like enjoying the fruits and veggies she brings in! Ha! Lazy. I. Am. My lil sis does a much better job of going in the backyard to document and pick the fruit and vegetables. Check it out here.

The other day my momma gave me a baggie of goodies. Some things in there: jalapenos, Bird's eye chilis, and eggplant. What shall I cook with these guys?

Suggestions? Anyone know any good recipes?

turning a new leaf

My person's favorite thing to say: "I'm turning a new leaf. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to eat healthy." I usually don't help in his "leaf turning" as I do most of the grocery shopping and cooking.

It drives my person nuts, but I am a super picky eater. I do not like veggies. I rarely eat them, and I am so amazed when I see the BFF's kids stuff their face with vegetables like it's candy! I've gotten better over the years, and now I enjoy eating certain vegetables. However, they must be cooked the way I like.

I figured out that I enjoy roasted broccoli. Raw broccoli, on the other hand, is a big fat no no! BLEHK! Maybe I'll like it in another 20 some years.


For today's dinner, I thought I'd help with my person's desire for healthy eating. Roasted up some broccoli, onions, garlic, potatoes, topped it with some Parmesan cheese and my favorite, TABASCO! We are both turning a new leaf!

My dinner was followed with my nightly vitamin intake. BLEHK.


I've been taking these vitamins (given to me by my other bff) every night. I know I should be washing the horse pills down with water but I hate water! Today's wash down liquid - pomegranate lemonade!


Here's to turning a new leaf!
