Zo's Kitchen Tonight

This blog is not only about making tasty food in our kitchen but about this amazing area where we live. How we enjoy the simple pleasures of life in the Willamette valley here in Eugene OR. Whether sitting in our garden or having family and friends over for a grill we try to get the most of every experience.

You gotta love summer!

This is my Everything But the Kitchen Sink Salad.
Wow, we love summer! A feast of fresh veggies and fruits every day. This salad is so nutritious as it is loaded with about seven different veggies. I like to serve this salad with my Mom's honey mustard dressing it is also great with a simple Italian dressing. For tonight's dinner I am making a slow cooker pot roast with garlic and fresh rosemary and thyme. Will serve with red smashed potatoes with sour cream and chives. I quarter the potatoes and boil in salted water till tender, drain and then add a dollop of butter and good amount of sour cream, salt and pepper and rough smash. Then put in a serving bowl with snipped chives scattered over the top. We are going to have sauteed zucchini with chili peppers to the side. I am also going to make more zucchini bread this afternoon. So I am a Susy Homemaker today. I think it is perfect day for that as it is still cool and cloudy out, almost looks like a shower. Tomorrow it heats up once more that will make the tomatoes smile. I now must head out the door for my walk and get on with my cook fest in the kitchen.
