Summertime Dinner
 

I made one of my favorite meals today--potatoes, onions, carrots, garlic, and beans all fresh from the garden simmered until done. How's that for a complicated recipe? Heavenly! I made sourdough bread as well. Nothing better than this. :)

YUM! sounds good!

What tome did you say dinner is ? Any leftovers?

I think with a dinner like that there would be no leftovers.....

We had this when I was young. Mom cooked it in beef broth & added cabbage wedges.
She sometimes used turnips in place of potatoes.So good & tasty...

Have fresh swiss chard and green beans in the steamer... and mushrooms..green onions...garlic in the fry pan... the house smells wonderful....The chickie is in the little toaster oven rather than the BBQ tonight as DH is too tired...... LOVE fresh vegies!

My mother made this too. We called it boiled dinner. Only no turnips, but with chunks of rutabaga. :(

I buy Soyaki or Island Soyaki from Trader Joe's and it makes a full meal. I saute the veggies in a wok or teflon frying pan and add a little Soyaki or Island (different but delicious tasting) sauce to it and let it simmer. Makes a full meal - served with a good rustic bread. I also add fresh mushrooms, green/red/or yellow strips of pepper. I parboil little reds and then quarter them and plop them in the pan, Brussels sprouts is good as is asparagus. I don't add meat to it because this is a filling meal in and of itself and I can save the meat for another night. I am alone now and I can make a batch of these veggies last for four meals and with the Soyaki sauce it gets better every time I heat it up. The Island Soyaki has pineapple flavor in it and is delicious with the veggies.

Now you are making me hungry. Edie
