WHAT'S COOKIN'?

• Chilled Cucumber & Potato Soup
• Sauteéd Green Beans with balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and garlic
• Simple Cucumber salad with sour cream
• Bacon, Lettuce and Avocado sandwiches with basil mayonnaise
• And this looks like a fabulous idea: CSA Twist on Vietnamese Fresh Summer Rolls. We didn’t get collard greens this week, but I’m thinking it would work with Kale...

I get spoiled in the summer and fall months by Farmer John’s garlic. The dried garlic you buy in the store can’t even begin to compete with fresh heads of garlic. There’s no hint of bitterness. No inner green sprout popping up when the head gets too old. It’s pure garlic flavor and I never let one, single clove go to waste.

We’re still knee-deep in cucumber and zucchini season. I think it’s about time I make a couple batches of zucchini muffins and pop them in the freezer for when we’re not so burnt out on them! As for the cucumber, I’m still making Tzatziki Sauce once a week and I serve it with homemade toasted pita chips* (*look for an upcoming post for the recipe).
