Ah! Our garden is going crazy! We've got tomatoes, jalapenos, serranos, green bell peppers, banana peppers, zuchini, yellow squash, and cukes right now that are all out of control! Gonna have to give some away b/c we can't eat it all....
Tonight we used a variety of the peppers and tomatoes and made chicken fajitas (onion, mushrooms too). Spanish rice, sour cream, limes, guac, and cilantro on the side. I've got "back to school" night tomorrow, so good thing we made plenty of extra
As I sit here scheming tomorrow nights dinner I'm thinking about ham, some kind of greens, fresh tomato and a small slice of pecan pie for dessert. I've been sort of good with the desserts after we polished of two key lime pies in 4 nights a couple of weeks ago. After all pecans are a health food aren't they?

Well actually, most of our tomatoes that are ready right now are cherry and roma....our regular tomatoes, of which there are a TON, are all still green as well. Can you freeze salsa?
Gonna make up a bunch of pesto to freeze this weekend as well......

Last night, made a meatloaf (I like it fairly plain - no chunks - but w/parm cheese mixed inw/the breadcrumbs and egg. No parm, so I settled for some mozzarella. Ketchup on top. Still good.), baked 'taters and home made baked beans that I made w/leftover ham. Home made apple pie w/french vanilla ice cream. Good dinner.
Who is it has the ice cream maker?? I'll swap you a pc. of my pie for a bowl of your ice cream!
Jimj, if your tomatoes don't ripen before the weather goes bad on you, pick all the green ones you can and either wrap them in newspaper and box them up, put it in the basement if you have one, or a cool, dry place. Check them fairly frequently. Or you can get a box of sand (I liked the results from this one better), bury the green ones in the sand, put them box as above. You'll have fresh tomatoes for a good, long time.
Good luck.
Don't know what's for dinner tonight. Maybe shrimp scampi or alfredo or a pasta dish w/hot sausage. I think there's a theme here! LOL
Last year we bought a Cuisinart commercial ice cream maker for when our grands came. Wow did we experiment-hubby and I. Packed on a few pounds. Haven't used it since last Aug. when kids and I made lots of ice cream.
Tonight we are having shrimp etouffe, baked fish, brown rice and a salad. DH doesn't like the etouffe but the kids do. I am going to try and make some cookies or brownies today but we will have to see if I actually achieve that.
Tonight is Chicken Marsala tweaked a bit to make it low fat
4 thin chicken breasts (pounded)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
2 tsp olive oil
2cups sliced mushroom (freshif avail)

1/4 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper
Heat oil in skillet over med high heat. Add chicken and cook through about 3- minutes on each side. Transfer to plate and keep warm.
Add mushrooms to skillet and cook, stirring frequently until browned about 3 minutes. Sprinkle mushrooms with flour stirring to blend. Add the Marsala wine and broth..bring to a boil. Cook stirring occasionally until sauce thickens for about 3 minutes. Spoon sauce over the chicken.
