You may have already noticed, but I often list fresh herbs as an ingredient in the recipes rather than a specific herb. This is because I want you to be led by your own garden or your season’s availability. The Herb Tilapia and the Herb & Goat Cheese Stuffed Peaches are two examples this week.
Sometimes, one herb is best to showcase, such as the classic Italian herb basil which appears in the Zucchini Soup, the Tomato & Basil Sandwiches and the creamy Herb-Pesto Butter. If you have different types of basil, such as lemon, Thai or purple play with those in these recipes as well.
Fruity sweet barbeque sauces accompany this week’s grilled dishes. Blackberry BBQ Sauce coats Grilled Chicken with a few simple sides of Sweet Lemon Corn and Green Bean Almandine. As plums come into season, whip up this simple Asian Plum BBQ Sauce and dollop it on mini-burger Asian Plum Sliders. Serve the little burgers with Red Chili Green Beans and the Grilled Sweet Potato Fries
Summer is a time to play with hot & cold temperatures. This week’s Grilled Caesar does just that. Char romaine leaves and bread or polenta for croutons, then drizzle on a chilled yogurt Caesar Dressing. Fire & Ice Cherry Tomatoes use tomatoes and spice to their fullest this week, both for dinner and as a lunch.
We created a slightly unusual veggie main dish this week. In season peaches are grilled and stuffed with goat cheese and pistachios. Serve with a Ginger Vinaigrette Spinach Salad and Nutty Quinoa. The Stuffed Peaches are also delightful for breakfast or a savory-sweet dessert!
We have entered Zucchini Bread season and this version is studded with chocolate chips, nuts and coconut. If you need something a bit more savory for breakfast, try the Skillet Zucchini & Potatoes with Eggs.
If you don’t already have a pot of herbs in your window or just outside in your garden, try planting one. It is such a simple way to save money, flavor up any dish and be a bit more connected to the food you eat. Usually you only need a few sprigs to take your meal from simple to extraordinary. Have a favorite herb, such as lemon thyme, thai basil, or even pineapple mint? Play with those herbs and make these dishes your own. As a bonus, write the herbs you use in the notes section of each recipe so you are able to repeat them in the future.
Cook seasonally. Eat consciously. Live well,
