I love my garden...

dreamflowerWe had our supper out of our garden tonight! The only things not from the garden were the chicken and the potatoes! Food picspam behind the cut:
First up, acorn squash, baked with a little butter and some Splenda brown sugar blend.
Next, herbed chicken. I defrosted the chicken breasts in briney water. Then I minced some fresh herbs: parsley, chives, rosemary, tarragon, thyme and sage. I had about 2 tablespoons after I snipped them up finely with the kitchen shears. To the herbs, I added the grated rind and juice of half a lemon, a clove of minced garlic, a half-teaspoon of salt and about a tablespoon of olive oil. I patted the chicken dry and then rubbed it with the herb mixture, and then sprinkled on a little paprika for color. Baked at 350 for about 45 minutes or so.
Thinly sliced radishes sauteed in butter. The DH LOVES these fixed this way.
Finally a nice mess of freshly picked green beans, cooked in broth with seasoned with onion and a little lemon juice and some real bacon bits. Potato added about 20 minutes before supper was ready.
Nothing left but one of the chicken breasts, which will make a nice chicken salad for lunch tomorrow.
We also brought in some green onions and a few cucumbers. I'm hoping we will get more beans. We have many more cukes on the vine, and we've got a couple of eggplants that aren't ready yet. All the tomatoes are still green. I do wish they would start to ripen!
