Turning Tomatoes into Turkey Meatball Parmigiana

Hi, guys! My garden is really starting to yield a lot of herbs and veggies now.  I cannot keep up with the tomatoes! This year the crop has been fabulous.  I have been making a lot of tomato sauces and stewed veggies.


This weekend I decided to use a big batch of tomatoes and turn them into this:

Turkey Meatball Parmigiana 

It was so delicious, and tasted even better since I slowed down and had dinner in my garden with my husband!


Do you have a veggie garden?  If you don't, I highly recommend you try planting an herb garden or a pot of tomatoes next year.  Start small, and I bet you will love having these yummy goodies at your fingertips.  

Have a great day!

Dining In the Garden With a Good Bottle of Wine

Hi, guys! Hope all is well! The weather is still warm, but not as brutal as it has been.  It is a good thing as I was really starting to feel ill with the endless heat and no relief.  Finally, this weekend my hubby and I were able to dine outside and relax.  It has been way too hot for me to do that.

My tomatoes are starting to ripen, and I have had a couple of bowls full already picked and used.



  I love to make fresh green beans and tomatoes, and boy were they delicious!



My hubby and I discovered a great inexpensive white wine that we loved.  As a crafter and a lover of beautiful things, I can't help but keep these bottles.  They will look great with flowers on my table!  Isn't she pretty?  The wine is great plain, but even better with a squeeze of lime!  (I have NO affiliation with this company, but thought I would share it with you as I love a good priced and tasty wine!



Hope you are enjoying your summer, and if it isn't summer in your neck of the woods,  I know it will be there sooner than you think!

Until next time!
