We spend months planning, digging, weeding, and watering these plants. But I realized we didn't really have a place on the forum to talk about the best part, which is eating them!
I wanted to kick off this section to see how everyone prepares their harvest. Are you a master chef in the kitchen, or are you like me and prefer to do most of your cooking outside?
I’ll be honest, I’m primarily a meat eater. I follow a pretty relaxed carnivore/ketovore diet, so I eat a lot of steak, bratwurst, and chicken thighs. But that doesn't mean I don't love my garden. For me, the vegetables are there to make the main course better.
Since I live in Texas, I try to keep the heat out of the house. I do almost all my cooking on my Blackstone or on my Traeger. I also enjoy firing up the Weber kettle or the Oklahoma Joe smoker sometimes too.
One of my favorite things to do with a harvest is the "Steakhouse Topper":
How do you cook your crops? I’m looking for ideas for this upcoming season. When the tomatoes and peppers start rolling in, what is your go-to recipe?
Do you have a secret salsa recipe? A zucchini bread that actually tastes good? Or are you throwing everything into an Instant Pot?

One of my favorite things to do with a harvest is the "Steakhouse Topper":
- Take a mess of fresh onions (hopefully those 1015s I’m planting this year) and jalapenos.
- Slice them thick.
- Throw them on the Blackstone with a big slice of butter and some garlic while my ribeye is searing next to them.
- Let them get caramelized and soft, then pile them right on top of the steak.
