We are getting ready to go to a family cookout tonight and I was going through my recipe book and I found this recipe that I totally forgot about because you only get to make it one season out of the year when all the ingredients are in season..which is now!! (Excuse the messy picture.) You can put this on grilled salmon or a side dish of anything. We use it as dip with Tortilla Chips.

CORN RELISH
2 Ears Corn, Peeled
2 Tomatoes, Diced about 2 cups
2 Avacados
6 Tbsp Finely Chopped Red Onion
2 Tbsp Parsley
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Tsp. Pepper

*Blanch the corn about 4 min. then add all ingredients.

The picture really doesn't do this dish justice because it is really good and I didn't have the red onion so I just used a regular yellow onion. It looks really pretty with that purple onion in there.
Do you have some yummy recipes for fall?? If you do post them!!

Honey Facts - Nature's Sweet!!

To Replace Sugar with Honey
Substitute at 3/4 cup honey for 1 cup sugar. Reduce the total amount of other liquids by 1/4 cup per cup of honey. Lowering the baking temperature by 25 degrees stops overbrowning. Foods sweetened with honey will have a better falvor if kept until the day after baking before it is served.

Evidence of Pure Quality Honey
Bubble Test: While shopping for the right honey, perform the bubble test. Take two or three like containers and turn them upside down. The bubble that rises the slowest is the better honey. The others could have been force filtered or the moisture content is higher.

Honey Cox Farms

I love honey. I love it on toast, I love it on oatmeal I love it in my oatmeal, coconut bars...if you haven't noticed I really love it. I tried this honey and HAD to share some valuable information with you. While I was in Idaho Falls I went shopping in Shelley at the Cox Honey Farms . This is purely YUMM-O honey! The price I thought was reasonable but while talking to the clerk, he told me the most excellent news... Are you ready? If you order on-line your shipping is FREE!! Ok so that for me is a seller in itself because I am a big on-line shopper. I think you should try it at least once. I hope that you all are having a great summer!!

I forgot to mention that I have been trying the spray n' grow. I am hoping it helps my veggies. It is suppose to be "vitamins" for your plants. You can purchase on QVC for about $20.00 a bottle but you only use a teaspoon per 16oz. of water.

June UpDate on the Garden
