Today's bounty minus the pinto beans.  Definitely not as good as years past but we've had more on our plate this year than normal.  Due to weather the garden was late and of course the heat is already taking it's toll. 

Rick loves the "no knead" bread so I made some dough up for him.  He loves the crunchy crust and soft bread inside (left).  I made some with wheat flour for me (right).  I may do some loaves with mine.  He loves the original recipe where you cook it in the iron dutch oven.

We also have a lot of squash frozen/canned so I'm trying to find healthy ways of using them. 

Without boring you and going into great detail, I discovered I have some health issues while trying to get medical clearance for a hysterectomy.  On top of that, my surgery was canceled due to me getting sick a couple of weeks ago with what I thought was allergies.   My PCP informed me yesterday that I was lucky I didn't have pneumonia (well bite me, I didn't know I was that sick) and proceeded to give me 2 shots (she never gives shots) and did I mention how much I hate needles?  So I guess my simple blog about gardening (vegetables) and sewing and our dogs will now add in some healthy crap.  The muffins above are my first adventure into finding something healthy for my heart with yellow squash.  We live in Texas.  It's almost impossible to have a bad year of squash or zucchini. 

Oh, two more dogs have showed up at work.  Rick said no, I couldn't take them home.  One is a puppy, albeit a rather large puppy.  He did try taking the puppy one evening to meet Daisy.  The puppy was horrible to Daisy so he took her back to work.   

Okay this doesn't totally catch me up but it's a start.
