We have a freeze warning beginning tonight, which is not good for the garden. One good thing is that I didn't have to do much thinking about dinner. Picked some veggies and made up a quick rice and lentil dish, dinner served. The rest of the garden will be covered in burlap tonight and we will hope for the best.
Here is dinner: tons of steamed zucchini, sauteed kale, 3 kinds of lettuce for a green salad, topped with fresh tomatoes, and a mixture of wild rice, brown rice, green and red lentils cooked in "no-chicken" broth, onions, and garlic.Now I am off to the garden to tuck the veggies into their burlap bed.

So many vegetables!!!!!! Definitely VeggieGirl-approved ;-)
I can't believe you're still picking anything out of your garden at all! Everything in mine is long frozen and gone.
mmmm i need veggies every-o-day!
Even though your garden may be over, at least you got a few extra months of yummy goodness. Over here, we haven't had fresh zucchini since October...sigh...only 5 months til spring.
I'm loving the idea of you tucking the veggies in, under a burlap blanket~ it just creates such a wonderful image in my mind! >:o)
Looks delicious. Steamed Zucchini is really one of my favorite things.... and so are lentils and brown rice!
I hope your veggies stay warm in their burlap beds!
I'm loving your meal. Especailly the zuchinni. You can't get much more local than your own back yard :)
Yay for all the greens! I had steamed zucchini tonight too :o)
Looks simple, healthy, and delish- I have garden envy too!
How great to have a summery meal before the big freeze. I'm glad you got the garden all picked and covered.
What a gorgeous plate!
Sigh. Wish I lived where it was warmer.
Happy holidays!
Oh I am so jealous! All the plants I have are parsley and basil!
Hope the garden makes it! Mine didn't fare so well this year.
see you next Spring, beautiful garden!
Thansk Sheree! I will defintely be keeping my eye out for it!!
Thanks so much, as always, for your sweet comments on my blog. I hope you and your beautiful family (especially the little guy!) had a wonderful Christmas!
O, next year I finally have my own home grown veggies, when everything works out. Seeing posts like yours, I just can't wait. I hope you had a nice Christmas; it was your grandson's first one, right?
