I’m trying to stay ahead of the produce coming from our garden and given to us by others. This week, I cut up a couple of medium sized zucchini and froze them. Well, I consider them medium size compared to some we’ve gotten from the garden. Others would consider them large. This gallon size freezer bag has two zucchini in it.
I made Hot Pepper Jelly, canning 8 pints and 13 half pints. We really enjoy this mixed with cream cheese and served with plain tortilla chips. It also makes delicious glazed carrots. Simply cook your carrots, drain, and pour over the jelly to taste.
I had a plastic bag from the grocery store full of grapes from my father in laws vines. I canned 6 – 12 oz jars of grape jelly. And had a little taster jar left. I’m sure that will be gone at breakfast!
Now…. to answer the question that I get asked about a hundred times a day……….What’s For Dinner? See my menu below!

It’s been very humid this weekend. Yuck. I’m just going to stay in, watch some QVC and catch up on housework.
Everything sounds so delicious. Especially the canning.
I hope you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend.
