As I mentioned last week, I have been traveling a lot and what a time of year to travel! While I live in an area that can have year round farmer’s markets, most are in their first month of two. I keep jumping at every opportunity to go to a Farmer’s Market as I love being in these new places with the bustling crowd gathering deliciousness from their local sources.
Visiting New England where seafood can actually be considered a local food, I just had to include Bouillabaisse this week. If your home is already getting warm during the day, make the broth in a crockpot outside and then quickly whip up the Saffron Aioli, Green Salad, French Bread and finish the seafood in their quick flavorful bath.
I have been sneaking tomatoes into the meal plans over the last few weeks since some of you are getting early harvests, but am finally going to give them their proper welcome with the Fresh Tomato & Basil Pasta. Caesar Salad is such a traditional side for Italian recipes these days, but mix it up and toss a Kale Caesar with Homemade Croutons or gluten-free Polenta Croutons. Extras of the Fresh Tomatoes & Basil are delightful on top Runny Eggs & Greens for breakfast too.
The Greek feta pie, Spanakopita is a splendid way to use up an abundance of dark leafy greens whether it is spinach, chard or collards or a combination. This can even be baked during a cooler time of day and served at room temperature. Pair it with a simple Creamy Radish Salad. Make a huge batch of the Chopped Veggie & Lentils at the start of the week for an easy veggie dish for lunch and dinner. Don’t forget the Balsamic Vinaigrette which can be multiplied and made ahead as well for this salad and others.
The first beautiful stone fruit of the season is starting to make its way throughout the country and we are thrilled to make the Cherry Wild Rice, paired with Grilled Cauliflower and sprinkled with Caramelized Lemons & Pistachios. With fresh herbs in abundance, grill up chicken and decorate generously to create the Herb Grilled Chicken with Cherry Salsa. Leftover chicken can be whipped into the Apricot Pistachio Chicken Salad Sandwiches.
For a final treat and to satisfy any kids home from school playing outside all day long try these Seeduction Granola Balls that are easy to take on the go, on a plane, train or to a game.
Cook seasonally. Eat consciously. Live well,
