Free Pizza Reward

 

I had a 'reward' for a free 8" gourmet pizza at Boston Pizza good till the end of last month.  Husband M, son K and I finally made it there on August 31st.  I chose their vegetarian pizza as my reward.  We also got a spinach artichoke appetizer and a large pepperoni pizza.  

Cutleaf Coneflower

 

This Cutleaf coneflower (thanks Google Lens) always does well in the garden.  It needs no care and survives dry weather. It started from one or 2 plants and spreads itself around.  My friend S said hers spread over the fence to her neighbour's garden.  She got rid of hers to make space for more tomato plants.

I took this photo on August 28th when the evenings were starting to have a chill in the air.

Romaine Lettuce Stir Fry

 

I had some romaine lettuce that had to be used it had been sitting in the fridge for over a week.  I decided to stir fry the 2 large bunches.  It is good and it will last longer now. I dislike wasting food, it encourages me to be creative in using up leftovers.

Roasted Trumpet Squash

 

trumpet squash and a bag of garlic chives

I roasted the trumpet squash I received recently.  It was a young squash, quite tender and easy to cut.  The skin hardens and takes on a tan colour as it gets older.  Then you may have to cut the skin off.  I sliced it up and roasted it. The seeds were soft so I removed them and roasted them too. It tasted like zucchini.

1 trumpet squash

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

4 tbs olive oil

a handful of grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400F

Mix all ingredients, bake cut side down on a sheet lined with parchment paper 25-30 min.
