Garden Fresh Produce for Lunch

Today's lunch menu consisted of (clockwise from foreground): sliced garden tomatoes paired with cucumbers and seasoned with oregano, dill, and citrus-flavored olive oil; just picked and shelled black-eyed peas seasoned with rosemary; zucchini squares (recipe on continuation page); and a bowl of tasty oranges, grapefruit, and garden raspberries.

Here's Hannah pouring tea for our guests.

What a lovely visit we had with our friends! It's good to be able to entertain again after such a long break.

What a delicious lunch. Makes my mouth water. Our tomatoes are coming in but am still waiting on the rest of our garden. Seems to be slow this year.
I'm glad you are feeling better Deb and are back to offering your gracious hospitality to your many friends.

Blessings,

Victoria

It all looks delicious and beautiful. If our courgette plants ever get going and produce anything other than male flowers, I'll have to give that recipe a try - it sounds good.

Glad you're now able to be getting back to normal.

What a splendid meal!! This is the kind of food my family enjoys eating. Are your guests vegan? I wish I had your gift of presentation. Feeding the soul as well as the body. Thank you for the inspiration.
