{Katie’s Kitchen} Summer Garden Veggie Saute

Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard. 

Grab anything and everything from your garden or pick up local veggies for this recipe! If you need the perfect side dish for your grilled chicken, burgers, dogs, etc. this recipe will go along great.

I used squash, zucchini, a purple pepper and Roma tomatoes from my garden (cherry tomatoes work well, too)!

Start out by chopping everything up so it will all fit nicely in a large skillet.

Add olive oil to your skillet on the stove top on medium-high heat. Add your squash and zucchini and cook for 3 mins. Add in the garlic and tomatoes and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.

Season with salt, pepper, red pepper (if you like), then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

**You can also finish with a basil or raspberry vinaigrette for extra delicious flavor.

 

Ingredients  (I got the recipe here!)

  •  1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  •  1 large yellow squash chopped
  •  1 large zucchini chopped
  •  3 cloves garlic chopped
  •  1 cup grape tomatoes (I used Roma’s seeded)
  •  Kosher salt to taste
  •  Dash crushed red pepper
  •  2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese optional
  •  Basil vinaigrette for drizzling, optional

Gabby’s Good News: Students Meet and Greet Their New Teachers Via Drive-Thru

After spending the last few months mostly inside, students from a school in Glendale, Arizona, got to meet their new teachers with a fun, drive-thru event.

The kids wore masks and could stay in their cars and wave or get out and greet their teachers while safely social distancing.

Everybody was excited about finally getting to meet people and see new faces. It also provided an opportunity to pick up school supplies and other things needs to start the school year.

What a great idea to help students get excited for school! Although it will be virtual learning for many students for awhile I’m sure this will help connect students with their teachers.

 

{Katie’s Kitchen} The BEST Bruschetta

Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard 

Nothing is better than fresh ingredients straight from your own garden. We specifically grew Roma tomatoes this year because I wanted to make delicious brucschetta…this is my favorite recipe! It is such a simple summer recipe!

If you’re making this for a few people, then 4 tomatoes is fine. If you’re making it for a party, use 8.

I chopped my tomatoes into small pieces while removing the seeds and then, placed them into a bowl.

Add in the Parmesan cheese, basil, and garlic and stir. Then, Mix in the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Place the bowl into the Refrigerator while you prepare the bread.

Then, brush your sliced french baguette with olive oil and place on a grill or a pan in the stove (350 degrees for 5-7 mins.) to toast.

Once done, remove from heat and top with your homemade Bruschetta and cheese!

Ingredients:

  • 8 roma tomatoes seeded and diced
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 loaf French bread toasted and sliced

 

Assault By Slurpee

A Slurpee from 7-Eleven is a great way to beat the heat on a summer day…but no one wants to wear one. A guy in Florida who thought he was charged too much for his Slurpee expressed his outrage by pouring the slushy beverage on a store worker, and that landed him in jail for battery. Cops say 40-year-old Brian Duffy told them he argued with the employee over the price of the drink, but that he didn’t recall “spilling” it on her. A quick look at the store’s surveillance footage, however, clearly showed that he very much did. Now, ol’ Brian’s currently being held in jail on $2,500 bail & has been ordered to stay away from the victim.

ANDY NOTE: I hear he could be sentenced to between 7 and 11 years in jail.
