Thrifty Summer Fun Series - #3

Fishing is something we do every summer as often as possible.  Of course, its a competition between all of us on who can catch the first fish and who can catch the most fish.  We have a pond and we use it as often as possible.  Do you fish with your family or friends during the summer?

Here is a picture of our pond.

Tasty Tuesday - Farmer's Market

I am not sharing a recipe this week but I am sharing my vegetable dinner that I had Sunday.  I went to the farmer's market Saturday and found some great vegetables.  I love the fresh homegrown vegetables in the summer.  My dinner was so yummy.

I enjoyed my fresh green beans, sliced cucumbers and tomato, corn on the cob and fried squash.

Thrifty Summer Fun Series - #2

My son celebrated his 8th birthday over the weekend.  We had a pool party on Saturday and he requested a sleepover after the party.  To make the sleepover extra fun we put our tent up in the backyard and the boys got to sleep in there with my husband.   They had so much fun.

We found this tent at Walmart on clearance several months ago.  It was originally price at $199 and we found it on clearance for $40.   A weekend camping trip is definitely planned this summer.

Blackeye Pea and Fresh Corn Salad

What You Will Need:

1 Can         Blackeye Peas

1 Cup        Cherry Tomatoes

6 Ears        Corn, Fresh off the Cob

1/2 cup      Cucumbers

1                Jalapeno

1/2 cup      Red Onion

1/2 cup      Sweet Peppers, Orange or Red

1/4 cup      Sugar

1/2 cup      Rice Vinegar

                  Salt and Pepper



Directions:

Whisk the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper to taste together and set aside.  Blanch the corn in hot boiling water for 1 minute, put directly into ice water.  Cool and cut off the cob.  Mix the corn kernels and blackeye peas along with the remaining ingredients in a large bowl.  Add the dressing.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.


This is a great side dish for grilling out this summer.  Nothing better than using vegetables from your garden or farmer's market.  Enjoy!
