calling all phoodwhores™!
just like MJ has said in her post it is time for summer recipes.
so all of the planting for the summer garden has been done, and some of the plants are starting to produce vegetables. the list includes:
- tomatoes (all different types and varieties)
- tomatillos
- peppers (all different times as well)
- eggplants
- summer squash (zucchini and patty pan, aka ufo squash)
- winter squash (butternut squash)
- cucumbers (both pickling and loofah)
- carrots
- sweet corn
- radishes
- bak choi
- broccoli
- various salad green mixes (including spinach, mustards, lettuces, etc)
- herbs (parsley, cilantro, basil, etc)
so here’s where the phoodwhores™ come in: i need recipes that i could try this summer using stuff from the garden. post them, put them in comments, however you want. heck, try them out yourself, comment, make suggestions, you name it!
besides it would be make great phoodadventures “reading” material for these hot days and warm nights of summer.
