No need to remind you that our warm season crops are ahead of schedule. I’m backtracking again to unearth some summer favorites for the hot, sticky weather. http://blog.bilowzassociates.com/2009/08/easy-recipes-from-annies-gardening.html Tzatziki, a simple but refreshing way to serve yogurt and cucumbers is a must have to accompany summer grilling. If the only way you serve cucumbers is in a salad, think again. Don’t forget the salsas. Tomatoes, peppers and corn can be found at many of the farmer’s markets. In this weather, the challenge in cooking something good is to make it easy plus not heat up the kitchen! Forgo the pizza joint tonight and try some of these cool, refreshing summer favorites.
And don’t forget that we are in the heart of berry picking season. If you love jams and don’t like to cook, freezer jams are a snap to whip up. Catch the flavors now. It doesn’t get any better than this. We went picking on Sunday at one of our favorite spots called Monadnock Berries. You can’t beat the view and the selection, flavor and price are the best in our book. Check it out for yourself. You can get more details by visiting their website at http://www.monadnockberries.com/ or by calling ahead at (603) 242 6417. They also do farmers markets in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. No excuses - get your fill of fresh fruit! Post your favorite berry picking spot on Annie’s Gardening Corner. It’s like the best ice cream place. Everyone has a fav in their town that supposedly beats mine - http://rotaspringfarm.com/ Today’s quote comes to us from Eric Carle. “We have eyes, and we're looking at stuff all the time, all day long. And I just think that whatever our eyes touch should be beautiful, tasteful, appealing, and important.” Gardens and food definitely qualify! Annie
