Welcome to my Blog

Hi, my name is Suanne and I am writing this blog to share some of the tips and recipes I have learned or created with our backyard garden. The garden itself is actually my husband John's but we have had a garden for over 25 years so I have picked up some garden knowledge along the way. We live in Austin, Texas so we are blessed with a year long growing season. We always have something to eat from the garden and this pretty much dictates what we eat. All of our meals are planned around what happens to be growing at the time. One of the biggest challenges is what I like to call crop maintenance. What to do with all of the vegetables? Beyond sharing with the neighbors and friends I am always trying creative approaches to preparing the bounty. So the blog seemed like a good way to both keep track of and share my recipes.

Peppers

IT is now August which makes it pepper season.  We have really been enjoying the Shishito Peppers.  We are amazed at the output.  We get 1-2 good sized batches a week.  These are the perfect appetizer.

Grilled Shishitos


Pick the Shishitos -  sprinkle with olive oil and salt.  Grill on a grill pan in a hot grill for about 3-5 minutes until they are just starting to brown.  Eat with a sauce of mayo and Sriracha.

The sweet pepper plant this year is producing more peppers than we know what to do with.  I decided to stuff them to recreate a dish we had in Upstate NY last summer.

NY style grilled and stuffed peppers.

8 oz links of Italian Sausage
4 oz of cream cheese

Brown Sausage  until cooked -  cool slightly
Mix cream cheese and sausage.  Remove tops of peppers and remove membranes and seeds.  Stuff peppers with mixture.  Bale or grill at 375 about 15-20 minutes until peppers are soft and starting to brown.
