Herbs and Veggies by Dana

Yesterday I picked fresh herbs and veggies so I can make spaghetti. Here's the pictures

Iko Iko Bell Pepper, Apple Pepper or (Habanero Pepper), Greek Oregano, Holy Basil, Parsley, English Thyme, and Sweet Basil.

I sauteed the peppers with garlic and onions

Then I added my sausage and herbs

I let the herbs and veggies cook with the sausage so the flavors could intermix together then I added my ground turkey 

As everything was cooking away I added my seasonings and last but not least I added home made spaghetti sauce which Darnell made from fresh tomatoes.  Some from our garden and some he gets from the crop swap he does every Monday

Home made spaghetti sauce

Finished product

Passion Fruit by Dana

Yesterday Darnell told me that our passion flower plant was producing a fruit, I was excited to hear that.  So this morning I got up and took a picture of it.  

In researching the health benefits of the passion fruit I learned that passion fruit is rich source of antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and fiber (research info from nutrition-and-you.com Power Your Diet)
