Summer Food


Summer food is so satisfying, isn't it?  It doesn't take much to make really good meals when you have fresh ingredients.  Now that the farmer's market has more to offer, and we have our herb barrel filled with our favorites, it is easy to pull together simple, healthy, and tasty meals.  Here's a little of what we enjoyed over the weekend:

Cheeseburgers (local, grass-fed beef really does taste better), Watermelon Feta and Arugula Salad, Maple-Glazed Sweet Potato Wedges


Strawberry-Yogurt Popsicles - I've been able to cut down the sugar a bit, and I added pureed spinach.  My big boy still thinks they are the best things ever.  I want to play more with flavors this year.  I think I need to find a pineapple-coconut recipe, because how good do pina colada popsicles sound?
