Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

I'm way behind...

In the past 2 weeks we've eaten out a few times - burgers, stuffed pizza (YUMMY!!!) and hot dogs.
We also cooked a lot at home. There were several big breakfasts since we had guests from out of town: biscuits and gravy, pancakes, fried eggs, fresh fruit (I discovered watermelon drizzled with honey is AMAZING and all the kids loved it). For dinners we had brats, shredded pork tacos, pork nachos, baked chicken thighs, stewed beans, fried green tomatoes and fried zucchini. That's everything that comes to mind right now.
I also canned some pickles, relish and banana peppers recently and made salsa yesterday that I need to can this evening. Our garden is producing nicely, and it is keeping me busy canning as well as incorporating fresh produce into our meals. One of new favorites is brussel sprout greens (the big leaves from the plant that many people just toss out). I treat them like collards and they hold up well rather than turning to mush like spinach. They are great in stew or just cooked as a side dish with some smoked meat or bacon and some onion and garlic.

I like the idea of using Brussels sprouts greens! I planted collards this year but have never used them before.
