weekend harvest - lunch and dessert

Harvest

This basket of goodies went into our lunch for Saturday.  In (and outside of) the basket, there are - peaches, mizuna, red and green salad bowl lettuces, a-choy lettuce, cucumber, and lemon.  It might not look like a lot of veggies from this angle, but it made a big bowl of salad which Randy and I devoured.  Here's a sample of what we had...

baked chicken nuggets and peach salad

I made baked chicken nuggets with peach and toasted almond salad.  The baked chicken nuggets were loosely based on this recipe.  I say loosely because I used whatever ingredients on hand and made adjustments based on the reviews.  I also cut the cucumber into small cubes and mix in with some couscous (not pictured here).  That was a good lunch!

peach cobbler

We picked some more peaches to make peach cobbler with this recipe.  I used more peaches,  half the sugar for the batter, and about 1/4 of the amount of sugar for the peach slices.  The weather was gloomy so this dessert was perfect.

On Sunday, we picked this big basketful of greens and berries.  It's a repeat of greens that we have been seeing, but it might be the last for some of them until the fall.  The weather is warming up this week.
