I Love Fresh Produce!

8/9/2017

I just can’t get enough of fresh tomatoes and cucumbers!
We have two tomato plants and they are
starting to produce. A trip to the farmer’s markets
supplies me with fresh cucumbers, so I am a happy
girl! I found this recipe on Facebook and have prepared
it twice already. It’s fast and easy and I love it. I
hope that you will too!

Cucumber/ Tomato salad
2 cucumbers, sliced in quarters lengthwise then
cut into chunks
1 –2 medium tomatoes, cut in chunks
4 slices bacon - fried, drained and crumbled
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise ( I used Hellmann’s)
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Mix together mayonnaise, garlic powder and salt
and pepper. Add cukes, tomatoes and bacon mix and
chill until serving. If you mix the dressing first and
then add the veggies and bacon, you have one less
bowl to wash!

Have a great week!

I also love fresh products. In fact, I am really fond of eating vegetable salad and sandwiches that are packed with vegetable. For me, having fresh vegetables in the table will make sure that you will get the nutrients you want to have. If the vegetables are not fresh, the nutrients you will get is not as much nutrient you will get from the fresh one. Also, the taste of it changes. For that reason, I can say that I do love to eat fresh vegetables.

I'm Kathy Lloyd. I grew up on a farm near Elmore, MN and have lived in Fairmont for over 44 years. I have always loved to cook, even when I was very young. I loved to stay with my Aunt Dorothy during my childhood. She was a great cook and used to give me freedom in the kitchen, teaching me along the way. She made recipes from our Norwegian heritage, along with pies, homemade doughnuts, yeast bread and cinnamon rolls.

Marrying a husband with a hearty appetite and raising 3 sons and 1 daughter gave me plenty of hungry appetites to satisfy! I worked as a nurse for 42 years and have been retired for 11 years. Even though I loved my work, I love having time to spend with my grandchildren, to experiment with new recipes and work with my flowers in the summer. Life has been very good to me, blessing me with my loving family and great friends!

I enjoy sharing my love of cooking and recipes with the readers of the Photo Press! (I have had my share of cooking failures over the years!)
