Summer Bounty

We were a bit apprehensive about planting a garden this year, as we were uncertain if we would be here to reap the harvest.  Thankfully we planted a small patch, and we are reaping the rewards of that decision.

We've been canning quite a bit, too, and I've had loads of help this year.  Here's Jordan and Thane prepping tomatoes for spaghetti sauce.

Thanks to Jordan's parents, we had a huge amount of raspberries with which to make jam, syrup and sauces.

Lastly, we all love eating fresh veggies for dinner every night.  A big favorite in our house is our french salad that we make once a week. 

The kids help harvest, clean and prep the vegetables and eggs - but they especially love eating the fruit (er, vegetable?) of their labor.  Bon appetit!
