ON THE MENU MONDAY~ WEEK OF AUGUST 18, 2013 AND GIVEAWAY WINNER




Do you ever feel like me... that you tend to make the same things over and over again? Because I often cook from the bounty of our veggie garden we tend to eat the same thing. But that's a good thing! At least most of the time! The veggies are so fresh and their flavors are at their peek! But we sure do eat a lot of them!

We are eating the last of the cucumbers this week... thank goodness! I'm a little cucumbered out to tell the truth!

And this is the only time of the year I eat tomatoes... right off the vine! What a treat. So most of our meals have fresh tomatoes!

Our onions are ready to come in so a slow cooker version of FRENCH ONION SOUP is on this week's menu that is absolutely delicious! I bet the Candy Sweet variety of onions will make the soup extra good!

Hope you are also cooking from your gardens, farm stands or local markets, too!

Now, here's the winner of the

I love canning and my favorite is to put up jelly in the littlest ball jelly jars. They are the perfect size for gifting and for 'sampling' jellies. The strangest ones I've canned are pea hull and corn cob jellies-both with rave reviews. Love love love Ball jars. Thanks for the opportunity!

Deb, send my your address and I'll get your giveaway out to you! My e-mail is on the sidebar!

A big thanks to the kind folks at Jarden Home Brands, makers of Ball Jars for the great giveaway!

  1. I was craving eggplant last night for dinner, but had none in the house. I had to settle for squash. Now that I see your recipe I want eggplant again. LOL

    We are finishing the last of the cucumbers and have quite
    a few tomatoes coming. Lots of blt sandwiches
    were eaten this summer.

  11. I think we all feel we make the same things over and over again. Isn't that really why we like to look in on other folks weekly menus? I know that is it for me. You always have lovely meals planned out.
