Is there anyone who doesn’t eat seasonally in the summer? Burgers out on the grill with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers are standard fare at this house all summer long. You, too? And, one of my favorite summer recipes is this Tomato and Cucumber Salad.
The CSA at Hen House this week was filled with all kinds of summer goodies! I zeroed in on the ground beef, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions right away! [Read more…]
Beef roast in the summer? You betcha! Pile that delicious beef on crusty rolls and you have great summer eating. It is a perfect change from all those grilled burgers.
Hen House, our local grocery store, has started their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) for the summer and we are thrilled to be sharing all their good stuff with you! We will be posting recipes and updates on the CSA frequently all summer long. It will be fun to cook locally–and seasonally–so please join us. [Read more…]
