Recipe Notes
[My 2 Cents]
I didn't grow up with a garden, so each time I get to use something from our garden we've got going this year I get so excited. I'm amazed at how wonderful fresh veggies and herbs taste. I used the green beans from our garden and measured about a cup and a half. I also used whole tomatoes that we canned last summer. I just threw them in the blender and blended until smooth and measured out about two cups (you could use less if you like).
