Zucchini with Tomatoes and Peppers!

This recipe is originally from my grandma. She used to make this when her neighbor would give her zucchini and hot peppers from his garden. It's a really nice summer recipe for when zucchini is really in season. I like to serve it over pasta with some parmesan cheese and some garlic bread! Anyway this is another thing I made last summer and stuck in my freezer for later. It makes me excited for zucchini this summer, and boy, do we get a LOT of zucchini with the share! Anyway, here is what I do: Slice up some zucchini, green pepper, onion and if you like, hot pepper, depending on how hot you like things. Cook the veggies in crushed tomatoes (you could also use diced,whole or tomato puree if you like or even adjust the consistency with tomato paste or water). Oh and don't forget the minced garlic!!!! Cook until the veggies are tender- it doesn't take very long! Enjoy!

Potato, Green Bean and Radish Salad

Side Note: So the other day we had the arugula pesto pasta. It was yummy! I did add some lemon juice when making the pesto, and then I added (just for fun) some sauteed tomatoes and onion. Yum!

Potato, Green Bean and Radish Salad! Oh my!

This is what's for dinner tonight, alongside some grilled chicken. We have about 5 pounds of potatoes and some radishes left from our last winter share, and this recipe is a favorite of mine. You can leave out the green beans if you want, It's really simple...

Roast (or grill) the veggies until they are tender. I also like to add some minced garlic at the end for flavor. You will want to put the potatoes in first since they take longer, then add the other veggies and garlic if you choose, a little later. Once they are done, toss the veggies in a bowl and add some sour cream, lemon juice (yes, lemon juice is a staple in my house!!), salt and pepper! That's it!

Cauliflower Soup

Nothing really related to the share, but I like this recipe and want to remember it for next winter... I love soup as well, Pioneer Woman...

Arugula Ideas

So here are my ideas for arugula so far:

Arugula salad with mandarin oranges, feta, almonds and some type of vinaigrette (italian, raspberry etc)

Arugula Pesto:
-Use as a bread dip with olive oil
-Use as a pasta sauce (add heavy cream and butter just like basil pesto pasta)
-Toss roasted potatoes with the pesto

I am going to use this recipe to make the pesto:
