We’re all coming off of a very hot week here in Oregon, but last night the temperatures really started to dip. When we went to bed, the air was cool and there was a breeze. This morning I woke up to clouds and I had to shut all the windows because the kids were to cold. But now it’s afternoon and the sun has come out and so has some warm sunshiny rays. We’re expecting still a warm week, but quite cooler than it was last week and I for one am ready for it.
This is the time of year where we begin to really reap the benefits of of our gardening. Sadly though, our one huge heirloom tomato didn’t make it due to bugs, but, our bell peppers, herbs, and Roma tomatoes are doing beautifully and since I wasn’t able to plant veggies like I really wanted to this past spring, but thankfully I have a very generous church family who’ve been dropping off tons of fresh veggies at our church so we can all take as much as we like. I’ve grabbed some zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, and cucumbers :) I’ve got plans for the zucchini and yellow squash this week.
Monday

( I’ve found a few recipes online that I’m drooling over, so I’ll let Josh pick)

I forgot to mention earlier that Grace is leaving to go camping with my family for a few days at the end of the week. Her leaving is always sad, because I love cooking for her because of her great appreciation for awesome food. I plan to do some baking this week as well :)
Desserts and Treats
I’m going to make some cookies for Josh’s lunch maybe tomorrow. I’m contributing to a crazy cooking challenge and the challenge for October is Chocolate Chip Cookies. I need to find a recipe on a blog that is a cookie and has chocolate chips in it…so I’m thinking about doing a cookie with chocolate chips and sea salt ;) I’ve got a few recipes bookmarked that I’ll show Josh later on tonight to see what he thinks he would like the best :)
