Check out some great ideas on how to turn your fresh harvest into a delectable meal!
Vickie's Zucchini Bread

Rustic Potato Soup
A comforting and hearty soup to welcome the coming Fall with! For extra richness, add your favorite cheese at the end and let melt in.

Vickie's Homemade Tomato Soup
This is something I made up when I had lots of extra tomatoes, even split ones. I have a food mill so I can cut out the core, cut out any bad spots, cut the tomatoes in half, and place them in a big pot. Let them boil and simmer for about 10-15 minu
Homemade Salsa
This recipe has exact measurements , but salsa is a really “to taste” kind of thing. Feel free to add more or less of what you like! If you can, give salsa some time to sit before serving so the spices can marry.
Chipotle Chicken Tacos
This come from Kelli’s mom and dad. If you need a timesaver, Debbie sometimes uses a deli chicken and skips the marinade step. She also has used chipotle chili power instead of the peppers in a pinch and it still turns out great!
