It’s the time of year when most gardens, at least in the South, are producing a ton of fruits and vegetables! Up until this point, you may have been producing enough that you can slowly use them up, but there usually comes a time when there is more than you can handle at one time. Or maybe you’re just tired of using the produce in the same old ways! Two options are to freeze your produce or pass extras on to friends and neighbors, but I also wanted to share some of my favorite things to make with extra garden produce. These are things that just aren’t as good when the produce is off-season from the store, so make sure to try these while you can!
What to Make with Extra Garden Produce
I’m going to cover the produce that we usually grow, which includes tomatoes, peppers, okra, eggplant, cucumbers, squash, and watermelon.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are a staple of most Southern vegetable gardens, and the growing season is long (although you may need to do two batches of plants).
One of my favorite ways to use up fresh tomatoes is to make pico de gallo. Fresh tomatoes are also amazing on BLTs! Some other ideas are to make homemade tomato sauce, or, if you want to pick some of the tomatoes early, fried green tomatoes!
Summer Squash
We usually have an explosion of zucchini at some point in the summer, so over the years I’ve found a couple different favorite ways to use it up without getting tired of it.
What can go wrong with frying something? It may not be the healthiest option, but I love fried zucchini. You can also make simple roasted squash or make stuffed zucchini boats.

Did you know that every area and paper gets different coupons in their inserts?
This is one of the biggest things that can frustrate couponers… we all want the great coupons but sometimes only a few select areas get them. Each week volunteers send in insert variation lists to show exactly what coupons were in their papers. I take these and put them into the coupon database. In turn you can then have shopping lists that only show the coupons in your area! Take a look at the coupon insert variations for 08/01, below.
Click on your newspaper to see which coupons you actually received.
If your paper is not covered and you’re interested in helping, feel free to email me at jenny@southernsavers.com for directions. I promise it’s easy!
As volunteers send me their lists I will continue to update this list.
A legend for the list:
Black = You got this coupon!
Red = Not in this insert
Blue = A change in value, or a new coupon not in the preview.
