Flower Garden Tour

Our church sponsors a garden tour every summer. Knowing you all love vegetable gardening, I imagine you also like flowers. I wish these photos could truly represent the beauty when standing in these gardens and yardscapes. Here are a few of the sites you will see if you take the tour on Sat, July 9. 2011 from 9 am-3pm. Tickets available for the tour and the salad luncheon at the church, Fremont UMC, Butterfield Rd, Fremont, Michigan.

It's Summertime

There's nothing better to cool you off in the summer time than a delicious, cold watermelon.

The first day of summer and I picked our first cucumber. It's a refreshing treat on a warm day.

For supper tonight we had cole slaw and chef salad and cauliflower with cheese sauce all compliments of our veggie garden. I hope you are enjoying the fruits of your labor. My DH said he planted the seed for the cauliflower on March 4 never realizing he'd be enjoying it on his plate the first day of summer.

                                  

Cheese Sauce for Veggies

2 T. margarine melted in pan

Stir in 2 T. flour

Whisk in a cup of milk over medium heat and let it thicken for about a minute.

Add about 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese to your taste and let it melt. Sprinkle on salt and pepper if you wish.

OR

If you want to make a cheesy dish real fast, just throw on a slice of American cheese (I usually get the slices made with 2% milk.) Place the dish in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to melt over the veggie.  Sometimes the cheese melts as soon as it is placed on the hot vegetables.

Enjoy!
