So, I was on my way to Costco this afternoon, and it wasn't until I was on the freeway that I remembered that we already used up the "Grocery" budget for September. It was probably the hardest thing I did all day, but I got off the freeway at the very next exit. (It's rare that I exercise this amount of discipline) I went home and found something we already had on hand to make for dinner...
It ended up being super delicious, almost everything was from the garden! We had grilled cheese sandwiches with homemade tomato soup, butternut squash with apples, and pan seared zucchini. I love fresh zucchini seared in a little olive oil. Yum!
Tomato soup. This was a first for me, and Oh. My. Gosh. You guys, this is the best thing I have ever made! I have always loved canned tomato soup, but I wanted to try making my own since I had a big bowl full of tomatoes from the garden. I roasted them in the broiler, puree'd them, and made me some soup!
A little touch of fresh picked basil made it just perfect! Seriously, SO delicious!
My cute son brought me a bowl of basil with a little marigold in it. Already bringing me flowers...this boy knows how to melt his mamma's heart.
Butternut squash with apples was my favorite part! No, my second favorite. The soup definitely won the taste battle. It was all so delicious!
What did you have for dinner?
You're welcome to make me homemade tomato soup any time you'd like. Also, I don't have that kind of discipline, trust me.
