Following up from my last post, today I took a couple of pounds of tomatoes, an onion, and some garlic from the garden and made tomato sauce. I then sliced a zucchini lengthwise into thin slices and made a zucchini lasagna.
I didn't raise cows for the cheese and meat, and I used store-bought spices because we don't grow basil (something Mrs Hades has resolved to change), but the rest came from our garden. I think it turned out pretty well all things considered.
We're going to experiment with the sauce to perfect the recipe, but then I anticipate not having to buy tomato sauce or tomato sauce based things (like spaghetti sauce). It's kind of fun seeing what we can get from the garden, and Mrs Hades is having a good time with it now that she has time to spend on such things.
I have said before that most of my cooking is done with pre-made ingredients, and that eating healthy means having to cook. It's even better when you do your cooking with things you grow yourself.
