Ratatouille and summer veggies

The garden has finally started to produce some veggies this year. Since the floods in early June, southern Wisconsin has had very little rain in the past eight weeks. The vegetable garden is desperate for water. Yes, we water, but it's just not the same as Mother Nature's great summer rain soaking storms.

That said, Raine made Ratatouille for dinner tonight. Our future chef found the recipe in this month's Bon Appetit magazine. The recipe calls for grilled fresh veggies from the garden (or farmer's market), fresh basil and grilled chicken.

The grilled egg plant, onion, zucchini and peppers mixed very nicely with the grilled chicken breast. A great late night summer dinner!
