We have lots of leftovers and tons of turnips and carrots from our garden, so I plan on freezing some of the carrots, and trying some new turnip dishes.

I am thinking about starting a weekly garden meme, that would show your garden progress each week, maybe start a new topic, like pest control, organic gardening, freezing and storing produce, and many many more topics.  I know many of you have a summer garden so I’d like to here from you if this might interest you.

Also be sure to check out Money Saving Mom and her 31 Days to a Better Grocery Budget series, she’s recently been talking about menu planning and included one of my comments in her post, (too cool).  Be sure to check it out she has some great tips.

Last week we had:

Pound Cake with Lemon Curd

Carrot Zucchini Pancakes (picture and recipe courtesy of Finding Joy in my Kitchen)
These were delicious and filling.

Chicken Fried Steak, with turnips and green salad

Mexican Mess Crock-pot Recipe (new from Smockity frocks) We really enjoyed these, I add some frozen corn and this was also great on top of a salad.
