Harvest Time
What to do with a garden full of veggies and trees full of fruit? Reap the reward of our labors! 
...and I use the term "our labors" very loosely here because I didn't participate in any of the actual laboring to grow all the beautiful food we ate and preserved. I left that part to my mom and sisters, who have gardens and trees to labor with. However, I did come to help with the peeling, chopping, squeezing, mashing, stirring, blanching, cooking, canning, laughing, crying (from the onions of course), and taste-testing. 
We prepared:
Fire roasted zucchini, squash, and mushrooms
Grilled corn on the cob with lime
Fresh bruschetta and garden herbs
Greek salad with lemon cucumbers
Mom's peach pie

Some quality time in the kitchen with family does good things for the soul. Brook, you really outdid yourself this time!

Gina- next year can I please be adopted into your family for Harvest Party 2009?? I need to learn your tricks of the trade. Your pictures look beautiful.
