The kids started out the week by sticking to their lunch boxes. Yay! Leftovers have never been used up so well as they have the past couple weeks. I couldn't wait to get my hands (and my fork) on the leftover pizza from yesterday. It was just as delicious today.
There is a freeze warning tonight so I spent the day in my garden gathering up all that I could. Then I had to find ways to use up what I had picked. I decided to make a small batch of green tomato salsa. I didn't have all of the ingredients that I normally use so I just used what I had on hand. Instead of lime juice, I used lemon. I didn't have nearly enough cilantro either so I tossed in a little basil. It turned out ok. It isn't quite as awesome as the normal recipe but it made three small jars. I decided that I may as well can them because it would be too much to just keep in the fridge. I also grabbed a little of the hot pepper relish that I had made for my hubby and put it in two tiny jars. I'm kind of hoping this is the last canning I do for this year. I feel like I've cooked and cooked and cooked. And cooked. I will need to work on corn tomorrow. How exciting. It is the first year that we have grown corn.
Tonight's dinner was an experiment. My hubby had seen a new veggie burger in the store. I dug in tonight and grilled us up some of the Morning Star Grillers soy burger. I also grilled red onion and mushrooms. I had american cheese and my hubby had three pepper cheese. I added garden lettuce, ketchup, and mustard. I served our burgers with a side salad and homemade pickles. Oh boy. I was a little nervous for a soy burger. I've liked our bean burgers. But soy?
Wow. I can't believe I liked it. The burger was surprisingly similar to a beef burger. All four of us liked them. I think next time I will add more awesome toppings (caramelized onions!). This wasn't the best "beefy" burger but dressing it up a little will make it a definite repeat at our house. Overall, a win.
