Fruits of our labors

Well, I know the main thing we blog about here is our garden, but we just love it so much. So, tonight we made our own pasta sauce! We have a lot of tomatoes all of a sudden, so we thought that would be a good way to use a bunch up. So we took about 16 roma tomatoes, blanched them, peeled them, and boiled them down forever and even though there were so many, it made enough sauce for about 3 servings. (2 for us, one for Jeremy's lunch tomorrow). But it was delicious! I added some fresh basil and parsley from the garden, and then some garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and a bay leaf. We were very excited about it. It's so fun to have such fresh food. I have a picture here (I should have taken it before I put parmesan cheese on top, but oh well) and the green beans in the picture are from our garden too! Yum, yum!We felt very healthy eating these fresh vegetables and herbs and it's just really fun to finally get to eat what we've been growing all summer!
