from my garden into my kitchen

Cucumbers and ground cherries galore! 

Ground cherries growing in the garden. The kids love to look for them each day.

I've been roasting veggies from the garden with olive oil and salt lately. So simple and delicious. 
 Had a craving for pizza a couple weeks ago while the kids were at a sleep over. I looked in the fridge to see what was in my mystery ice box and here is what I came up with. I made the crust with 1 avocado, 4 eggs, a little coconut and quinoa flour (about 1/4 cup total), xanthamn gum, baking soda and salt, blended in the food prosseor and put in a buttered pie dish to bake for about 10 minutes on 395, then added cheese, onions and peppers from the garden on top and it baked up golden brown. Sounds strange, I know, but I thought I was in Italy eating a plate of gluten. John and I scarfed it down. I will have to make this again for the kids, as they would love it. Hope some of you will try it and let me know what you think.
