Homemade Salsa
Holy August Batman! Is anyone else’s garden exploding? Mine is! Every day I am bringing in more tomatoes, squash, peppers, herbs… I mean don’t get me wrong, I love having fresh vegetables and herbs right outside my door, but good lord. There could be a small farm stand at the end of my driveway and I could STILL have too much. Makes for a happy coworkers and lots of ideas for a food blogger 😉 All kidding aside I really do enjoy having a garden. It keeps me busy and I love knowing where my food comes from. Clearly anyone who knows me, knows that I am all about eating…

She is incredible… I enjoy spending time with my parents…most of the time 😉 I was visiting with…

Garden Fresh…
On top of everything else I do…I enjoy working out. I really try my hardest to work out 3 times a week (on top of playing softball in an adult league, which I do 2 times a week). So, a lot of times I really would rather just go to the gym right from work…that way I don’t get settled at home and then not go at all! haha 😉 Anyways, so after my intense cardio session this evening I came home wanting something light. Then remembered…”hey! I have a ton of fresh veggies in my garden!”….BINGO! I made a salad this evening with all fresh ingredients right from my…
