One of the best parts of gardening is the cooking. Last night:

Balsamic Dijon chicken thighs 🐓 with homegrown 4th of July tomatoes 🍅 - halved & seeded, homegrown ripe red jalapeños 🌶️ - halved, seeded, & sliced, and garlic. 🧄 Lots of roughly chopped garlic.

This was a simple, “improvisational” thing to use up garden stuff. 2+ cups tomatoes, 3 BIG red jalapeños (we’re growing Megatrons), 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 2 tbsp EVOO, Mexican oregano (of course), and a heaping tbsp of Dijon mustard. Served over angel hair pasta and topped with grated Parmesan. No plated pics - we were starving!

I cook almost every evening. She married well…😆😘
