What's Cookin' Wednesday

It's Wednesday again to it's time to share what's cookin' on What's Cookin' Wednesday. Last week we mentioned that we were planning to do the grilled jalapeno stuffed poppers. They were good and definitely a keeper. We still have more jalapenos so those might show up again soon.

We went to the all natural farm in Plano, IL and stocked up on some more varieties of heirloom tomatoes. This week we will be having the following types of heirloom tomatoes - Japanese Black Trifel, Lemon Boy, Old Fashioned Goliath, Cherokee Purple and Pink Torboy. The Japnanese Black Trifel made the best tomatoe sandwich ever last week.

The white eggplant mentioned last week was a Casper variety. It had a creamy texture when grilled with a mist of olive oil. We have another for this week, too.

We are calling this summer our adventure in vegetables since we are trying so many new to us varieties.

So...please share...what's cookin' in your world?

What's Cookin' Wednesdays

We are excited to bring a new regular feature to the blog - What's Cookin' Wedensdays! Every Wednesday we will talk about what's been cookin', what's going to be cookin' or what might be cookin' someday. We will talk about Dad's Roadhouse products and anything else that sounds good. So, let's get started.

This week we are going to be grilling up some stuffed jalapeno peppers. My high school friend, Matt, posted his recipe on Facebook a couple of weeks ago and we borrowed his delicious idea. We will be stuffing the jalapenos with cream cheese and wrapping them in bacon. Then on the grill they go! We will let you know how they turn out.

Since fresh vegetables are in abundance, we will be grilling veggies, too. This week we will be grilling a new to us variety of eggplant. It is has a creamy white flesh and has a taste that resembles mushrooms. We promised the farmer we would give him feedback when we see him next. We will let you know how we liked this eggplant, too.

August is also National Peach Month! We have been told by Kathy in Oswego that Dad's Roadhouse Peach Salsa goes great in scrambled eggs. And, Tammy from Yorkville, puts Peach Salsa on her brats. What other ideas for using Peach Salsa do you have?

What's Cookin' at your house? Please leave a commment and share your ideas!
