Harvest

I have decided that I am going to start constructing my meals around my harvest.  I know...duh right?  I seem to use my harvest as an enhancement instead of a driving force and I would rather use groceries as the enhancement and my harvest as the driving force and so...so that I will remember...I will be posting recipes or uses I have found for my veggies. 


I don't know if I will be as gun-ho as to can/jar my harvest but I do plan on freezing herbs this year.  I am growing them...I might as well enjoy them for as long as I can right?

Tonight...I decided to use my flat leaf parsley and cucumbers in tacos.  Sounds strange right?  I always love to add diced cucumbers into a meat dish...it seems to add a nice sense of fresh.  The parsley?  It is to be good for digestion and I am growing it so, I might as well use it right?  I also traded out iceberg lettuce for baby spinach, mainly because I didn't have any, but spinach is also better for the system.  I think I may change my mind as to not growing baby spinach.   I always think it is too much trouble so perhaps I will grow it in a deck box.

This is ground turkey meat with taco seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic, and taco sauce.  After having read the ingredients for the taco seasons...I think I may make my own in the dead of winter when I long for my garden.   The modified food starch business must go...if you can't tell me what it is...why is it in there???
That being said...I do enjoy the seasoning, I am just wanting more control over what I injest.

Chopped flat leaf Italian parsley, diced cucumbers, chopped baby spinach, and four cheese shredded blend, with the seasoned turkey in the middle.





Assembled tacos.  I enjoyed the different flavors that I put in there.  Next time...perhaps I will add avocado!
