Tomato Harvest
They all ripen at once! So we’re having Gazpacho and Dad’s favorite sauce. Gazpacho is a great hot season meal … fresh … cool … light and jam-packed with this great fruit.
Our Favorite Gazpacho. Or try this richer version.
Here’s the first sauce I learned to make as a child. Not traditional to be sure but still a family favorite.
Pasta Calabrese
Pasta fully loaded … with vegetables that is! And for the meat lover … you won’t miss it! Sometimes the simplest of dishes is best. If your garden is full of summer vegetables your shopping list for this amazing dish just got shorter.
Calabria is the toe of the Italian boot. This Southern Italian region is known for simple dishes. We love pasta so much that many of our pasta dishes become comfort foods. Pasta Calabrese is one.

Cauliflower Mac n Cheese
For the next posts I’m creating some delicious Ketogenic recipes. Not all meat! In fact, there are Vegetarian versions of this diet. Whether you’re into the Ketogenic Diet or not you’ll enjoy this version of Mac n Cheese. Roasted Cauliflower subs for the macaroni. No matter how much cheese or what spice you add this definitely tastes of cauliflower. My family loves roasted cauliflower … So, adding cheese was just a perfect addition for a main dish result.
About the Ketogenic Diet … I recently began following Keto recommendations with amazing success in losing weight but what peaked my interest most was the benefits to nerve and brain health. I’ve lived long enough to know, information today changes tomorrow … But what I’ve studied just makes sense. I’m sure this diet isn’t for everyone. I recommend contacting your physician before beginning any strict dietary regimen.
Stuffed Poblanos
Changing up from the traditional stuffed bells to poblanos. Less bitter than green bells, full of flavor, especially when roasted, poblanos are a great choice for stuffed peppers. Use your own recipe and substitute roasted poblanos or my vegetarian stuffing (easy to make vegan). I have a meat stuffed bell here or another vegetarian version here … one is bound to strike your fancy.
Summer Vegetables with Pasta
Rustic pasta with vegetables, herbs and broken pieces of long ziti. Purely vegetarian with a light taste. Great to serve on a hot summer’s day. Enjoy the last of summer veggies with this simple satisfying dish.
