Ten Great Summer Vegetable Recipes

You know how it goes…   It’s the season of abundance – Summer Vegetables are all over the place and you are running out of ideas on what to do with them.  Well, I went through a bunch of my recipes and chose ten of my favorites for using up that Summer Vegetable Harvest!

Roasted Okra and Eggplant

Something a little bit different.  Roasted Okra and Eggplant with Balsamic Tomato Sauce and Rice. It was kind of like a vegan, Italian, I don’t know… gumbo?

Roasted Eggplant and Okra

Roasted eggplant and okra with peppers and onions alongside a grilled, local, grass fed, chemical and hormone free skirt steak and a tossed salad.  Simple, fast, healthy and delicious!

Grilled Zucchini, Squash, and Onions

I thought Grilled Zucchini, Squash and Onions would be perfect with pan sauteed chicken and a balsamic reduction.  I was right, this was lovely.

Squash, Sausage, and Bean “Chili”?

I honestly didn’t know what to call this… Chili?  Stew? Soup? Stoup?  All I know is that it was super yummy.  Lots of layers build on each other making it surprisingly complex.  And very satisfying!
