Like most gardeners in mid summer, I am starting to get lots of yummy veggies from my garden. So far I have harvested zucchini, swiss chard, beets, radishes, carrots, strawberries, cucumbers, jalapeños and a few tomatoes.
And like most of you, I think to myself: “What am I going to do with all of these summer garden vegetables?”
So today I just wanted to share with you a roundup post of recipes you can use to take advantage of all of that garden yumminess. I will categorize the list according to vegetable so it will be easy to find what you need. And I have separated the vegetables into pages so the post won’t be too long.

I don’t want any of your harvest to go to waste. But if you happen to have leftovers, here are a few ideas:
- Freeze
- Give to animals
- Compost
I love this time of year. I get to see the fruits of my labor in the garden and share the healthy food with my family. My kids don’t always love to eat zucchini or beets, so I have to get creative.
Hopefully, this list will help you and your family enjoy your garden harvest and the healthy food that comes from it. Who knows, they may even find a new vegetable they like.
