The wine: www.beringer.com/productinfotabs.aspx?ProductID=410195 http://www.grouprecipes.com/106460/zinfandel-vanilla-tart.html This dish is best as a side dish, but i eat it as a main dish it's so good :) i cook with what i have in my fridge at the time, and this is one of those meals with a small amount of ingredients, that pack a whole lot of flavor! http://www.grouprecipes.com/106299/simple-snow-pea-salad.html Yes, it's pumpkin pie bread, or sweet potato/apple bread if you use my other recipe, so you may think this is a Fall-only treat. Think again! A handful of fresh berries means that this is perfect Summer fare, and you can use frozen bounty for after the leaves turn. http://www.grouprecipes.com/104093/clash-of-the-seasons-quickbread.html Served room temperature or chilled, this simple salad encompasses the flavours of tartar sauce-kissed crab cakes without the fry! Use cellophane or rice-stick noodles if you cannot find Tofu Shirataki pasta in your market. This is a LARGE serving, but so yummy! http://www.grouprecipes.com/100506/crab-noodle-salad.html This is a taste of Italy in a bowl, and a perfect accompaniment to simple grilled chicken or fish! If you're short on time during the week, make the roasted tomatoes in advance and refrigerate (covered) up to 3 days. http://www.grouprecipes.com/100503/summers-candy-pasta.html Fresh from the garden, nothing beats home grown squash blossoms and fragrant basil! I kept things even more homegrown by using tomatoes from last year that I dried! High quality chevre is a must here too, bonus points if you have a local producer! Stuffing these is a bit of a production but it is so worth it - and the purchase of a disposable piping bag! These are different from your usual stuffed blossoms in that they're roasted, not fried - nice and light for late Summer nights! http://www.grouprecipes.com/99443/roasted-squash-blossoms.html This is such a simple, yet elegant salad. The yellow tomatoes make a nice change from the usual red. The flavors & colors are vibrant and fresh. Make any amount of servings -- adjust seasonings to taste. I omitted the asparagus, & just used the green beans.

This chilled salad is particularly satisfying on hot summer days. http://www.grouprecipes.com/99195/summer-spaghetti-salad.html These muffins found their way into a goodie bag I put together for my favourite hairstylist the last time I went for a cut - tender buttermilk, rolled oats and delicious Summery cherries make for a perfect coffee-break treat. Makes 7 jumbo or 14 regular muffins. http://www.grouprecipes.com/98692/ranier-and-oatmeal-muffins.html Incredibly fresh summer side dish-awesome with bbq'd anything.
