Tomato Pie, Oh My!


My garden is running over with tomatoes and having so many all at once you have to find recipes to use them up.  Here's a wonderful recipe for a Tomato Pie, yummy!




 
1 pre-baked pie shell
1 1/2 c. fresh mozzarella cheese
1 med onion, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp dried basil
...
1/2 c. mayo
3 med tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 egg
Spread 3/4 c of mozzarella in bottom of prebaked pie shell. Layer tomatoes and onions. In a separate bowl mix the rest of the cheese, mayo, basil and egg. Dash salt and pepper, spread on top. Bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown.


Better make 2 cause this goes FAST!

This and That

It's a wonderful feeling when you can cook an entire meal for your family from the garden you planted in the spring!




Big pot of green beans and little red potatoes


Squash casserole

We also had fresh cucumber slices and tomato sandwiches.  Why does everything taste so much better when its from your garden? 



Baby chicks turned 2 months old yesterday, they are getting soooo big!  Looks like an expansion is going to be needed to the coop with all the new babies!

DH built a tractor coop for a friend and look how he transported it! Redneck Transportation at its finest....



Here's hoping he made it!

HELP ME HELP THEM! I love animals, ALL animals. I want to help Carolina Loving Hound Rescue because I admire and respect what they do for these dogs. I recently rescued a Coonhound that some hunter abandoned in the woods. This is becoming more and more of a problem. Let's all do something to help. I get the chance to make one of a kind art, YOU get a unique canvas with your pet's profile and CAROLINA LOVING HOUND RESCUE will get a donation.

Worms In The Hen House

I decided to give my ladies a treat and tossed in a handful of meal worms....the result was pure chaos
 
 
 
Clara thinks she is a dog and tries to follow me around the hen house, even jumping up on the ladder so I'll pick her up
 
 
Louise wants in on the action
 
 
I always love visiting the ladies and listening to their cackling, I know they were saying the worms were a hit!
