Prepare to celebrate everything that makes the end of this sunny season beautiful and the start of brisker days glorious, since the official Autumn Equinox is this Tuesday the 23rd.
To start, do not let this week go by without preparing one or both of these dinners: the End of Summer Lasagna and/or the End of Summer Soup with Fig Salad. What a lovely way to toast the end of summer.
Pesto or Herb Butter is a classic family spread that my Mom prepared throughout all of my childhood summers. In many ways it is just a simple compound butter, but one with endless possibilities. Make a big batch at the start of the week and give several meals a boost. Starting with the peasant dish fit for the royalty of summer: Ratatouille. It comes together without much fuss other than a lot of slicing and arranging. The oven does most of the work. Pair it with French Bread to dip up the sauciness smeared with my Mom’s Pesto Butter.
Next, take that same batch of Herb Butter and dollop it across Herb Tilapia with Skillet Zucchini & Potatoes and a simple Tomato & Cucumber Green Salad.
Breakfast gets a bit fancier with leftovers of the Skillet Zucchini & Potatoes and the Herb Butter with a Runny Egg.
For lunch, dollop of Pesto Butter on a piece of French Bread with a salad of tomatoes such as Caprese. Boun Appetito!
Summer cannot fully end without the classic Hamburger! Dine on it with end of the season Grilled Corn, a diner-style Wedge Salad and the Yogurt Herb Ranch.
Double up on your corn and then whip up this Black Bean & Corn Salad to take for lunch the next day paired with Crudites & Yogurt-Herb Ranch Dip.
Cook seasonally. Eat consciously. Live well,
