Another garden to kitchen joy

Have I mentioned how much I love to garden and cook? If not, let me tell you... I love to garden and cook! One of our favorite salads to eat is tabouli, which is a salad with herbs, veggies and cracked wheat (you can also make it with couscous). See photo below.

Everything in this salad besides the bulgur wheat came from my garden. What a treat! The cucumber, tomatoes (yellow and green), green onions, parsley and mint. Yummy! I kinda feel like a fisherman eating the fish he caught for dinner. It is such a great feeling of accomplishment. That's why I love to garden. For six months out of the year, I get to grow and provide nutritious veggies for my husband and myself.

On top of that, we have saved a lot of money this summer. The price of food here(well, actually everything!) is ridiculous. So, If I can save money while doing something I truly enjoy... Fantastic! I only wish I could share with you all.
