Summer Loving...

Now is the time to pull out all of those zucchini and tomato recipes to take advantage of the garden surplus.  Tonight I had two really good recipes.  Yesterday I made Disappearing Zucchini Orzo I blogged about a few years ago (one of Barbara Kingsolver's recipes from her book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle).

To go along with the pasta salad I made a recipe I saw in this month's Vegetarian Times. The recipe is for Quick Pesto and Broiled Tomatoes.  The two dishes together make good use of the plentiful ingredients from the garden and taste so good together.






Only a the small tomatoes are from my garden. (The larger ones are from Giant Eagle!)

You can make your own pesto recipe if you want to add cheese and don't happen to have nutritional yeast on hand like I do!

How have I not known about Panko bread crumbs?  Panko is da BOMB!

Hey, it's summer!  Don't turn on your oven... Use your toaster oven!

The toaster oven works just as well and I didn't feel like passing out in the kitchen.

Add some orzo zucchini pasta salad...  It's amazing together.

Scout Gets Cat Grass

Richard picked up some cat grass at Petsmart this weekend and we decided to capture her enthusiasm while we watched the Godfather on TV.
