Girls’ Day

It had been quite some time (months, maybe?) since my mom, sister, and I had hung out together. We were blessed to be able to spend most of Thursday with each other because our schedules aligned!

Girls Day

I had the day off of my regular job and only had to pet sit two dogs, Hannah finished her classes in the morning, and my mom and sister were at my house by the early afternoon!

We were able to visit Hannah’s jeweler to get her engagement ring resized, browse around some decoration stores, enjoy a lovely dinner together, and I even got to do a little photoshoot of Hannah. It was such a great day, and just what I needed. I miss living with my family, but the time we spend together now is extra special, and something I cherish so very much.

We filmed a vlog to remember our day, and I think it adequately shows the silliness that ensues when we hang out.

I went to sleep that night feeling incredibly blessed. It was a good day 🙂

Harvesting tomatoes and green peppers

I’m back with another garden update. Our tomatoes and green peppers are growing well and producing a lot! We’ve been having the peppers with hummus, and I’m thinking I need to make fajitas and chili soon.

Does anyone have any other ideas for using up an abundance of green peppers?

As for the tomatoes, I used all but the grape tomatoes to make soup last night. I sautéed a red onion in olive oil and added some freshly chopped basil. In went the chopped tomatoes, seasonings, and chicken broth. It was simple and delicious. I had the soup today with a tuna sandwich and it hit the spot!

I so wish I could have all of my blog friends over for dinner and we could eat the produce from my garden and enjoy each other’s company. I’d make sure to send everyone home with tomatoes, peppers, zucchini and cucumbers.

Thanks for everyone’s comments on my last post. I had so much fun making our first vlog that I decided to film another!

What’s your favorite way to use up extra vegetables?
