Place cucumber at the center of attention in this salad with smoked trout, eggs and sourdough croutons. A great way to showcase homegrown cucumbers differently.
Celebrate carrots with this wonderful salad that combines them with chicory, mandarin, burrata and walnuts, creating a multitude of colors, textures and flavors.

I had the best quesadillas at a restaurant in Vermont while on vacation and I wanted to duplicate them myself. This is what I cam up with and I think it's pretty close. It is a great way to use up all those zucchini. I bake my quesadillas in the oven, but feel free to make them any way you like. Make sure that you serve with fresh pico de gallo and sour cream for the full experience. Enjoy!
Shredding the sprouts brings on a new look and texture.
This makes a nice hearty dish with plenty to go around. Will go great over rice pilaf or just served with warmed pita bread. Very flavorful!
A delicious and different way serve two favorite summer vegetables, squash and corn!"
These are a delicious and different way to prepare green beans. I made these for a dinner party, doubled the recipe and there was not a bean left.
Yeah, another recipe to help use the abundance of cherry tomatoes I have.....and will have again next year. (I love cherry tomatoes!) From Everyday Food.
Adapted from the complete casserole and one-pot cookbook. This makes a great side dish, and a nice variation on regular mash potato.
A favorite in my house, and a great way to enjoy young summer squash. It's delicious with or without meat but I love bacon!! I have used ground beef, Italian sweet sausage and left over chicken. you can also put this in a baking dish, cover generously with mozzarella and put it in the oven until the cheese is nicely melted. There are no rules! Enjoy.
A yummy side dish from Woman's Day. The total amount of cauliflower needed is about 5 pounds.
Classic Roman side dish. Recipe posted at Saveur.
A wonderful and colorful veggie dish drizzled with a delicious pesto dressing. Can be served immediately or chilled up to 8 hours. Vinaigrette dressing is also great on other salads.
This came out of the Weight Watchers Cookbook but it is far from tasting like WW. It is 2 points for a one-cup serving and DELICIOUS. These veggies are great reheated or cold in pita bread for lunch with some hummus. They make a wonderful accompaniment to any meat or fish dish. My daughter discovered this recipe and makes it all the time, too. This makes two large baking sheets full of yummy veggies. NOTE: Sometimes I add a couple of handfuls of frozen brussel sprouts (whole) to the sheet in place of the asparagus and sometimes I get piggy and add both.
Delicious, quick and easy!!! One of my favorite veggie dishes. Just threw it together one day many years ago!!
So many people think they don't like brussels sprouts - it's sad, because they're such a wonderfully tasty vegetable! I figure they must have had them prepared badly when they were younger, because everybody I fix them for change their minds about them. My latest conquest was my husband, who thought he didn't like them, either. He has since changed his mind, of course.
A recipe from my Italian family. Serve with a good Italian bread. Flavor is improved when refrigerated overnight and can keep for a few days in fridge. If stew becomes too thick, can thin out with some chicken broth. I have substituted a 14.5-16 ounce can of diced tomatoes (fire roasted or plain) for the cup of tomato sauce and cup of water or broth.
I made this and two other types of cupcakes for the film crew that spent the day at my home (9 hours) to create 2 minutes of show time. It was fun, scary and wonderful! Check me out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOR-QkxRD_E Yummy roasted veggies with lots of garlic. No need to boil noodles. Wonton wrappers makes this a quick put together meal. The kids would love to help make it. You can make this in a 12 cupcake pan or the Texas Jumbo 6 cupcake pan. Use 3 wontons per 12 cupcakes and 6 wontons per the Jumbo 6 cupcakes. Great to make ahead freeze and enjoy one as wanted. Pack and heat for a lunch at work.
Fresh Swiss Chard sauteed with Maui Onion and Pancetta. Fresh lemon juice, zest and garlic infuses a wonderful flavor into the Swiss Chard.
Tender asparagus and mushrooms get loads of flavor from garlic and Dijon mustard.
From Australian Women's Weekly. Serve this with cheese and bacon toasts. Yummy! Soup can be made a few days ahead and frozen. Reheat in microwave. To make the soup even yummier, I would suggest that you fry 1 slice of bacon and chop it up. Then using the reserved bacon grease, saute the onions, garlic and chopped bacon as stated.
