Panzanella

Great summer recipe when tomatoes are abundant.  I used this recipe from Ina Garten as a rough guide, but omit cucumber (because I don't love cucumber) and peppers, because they are expensive and I didn't have any in the garden.  I also used scallions instead of red onion, and blended them along with the basil with the vinaigrette.  The key to this wonderful, fresh recipe is wonderful, fresh ingredients.

I like to make this with, of course, deviled eggs, and corn for a complete meal.

Veggie stir fry

Great recipe! Very versatile and easy (and quick), and ridiculously delicious.  I used onion, cabbage, tomatoes and carrots.  Thanks to my sister for finding and sharing this gem.

Thai quinoa salad

I love carbs and dairy and sugar, so these types of dishes don't usually excite me.  Making this, it reminded me of the "bird food" dishes that my sister likes to make: very healthy but not usually so tasty.  But this dish was really delicious (delicious as it was healthy).  Definitely a have again.  I omitted the red pepper, since they are generally expensive, and substituted peanuts for cashews, as I think she suggests you can do.  It was pretty quick and easy to put together, too.

Rhubard crisp

'Tis the season for rhubard - lots of it in our farm share, in fact.  I was looking for a recipe that just used rhubard, because we didn't get any strawberries :)  This recipe is a total keeper, and was very simple:

Beer Bread

It really is almost too easy, and it really is wonderfully delicious, especially slathered in butter.  This recipe comes from Farmgirl Fare, which has lots of great recipes.  It is best made with a light blond beer, though I think a stout would be wonderful too (in general, stay away from hoppy beers - the hoppier the beer, the more bitter the bread).  I have also substituted straight up oats as well as buckwheat flour for some of the wheat flour (so 1c white, 1c oats or buckwheat, 1c wheat or buckwheat).  Be advised that if you add a whole cup of oats, you should add a couple extra tbsps flour.

Mushroom and spinach quesadillas

This recipe isn't super creative or innovative (though I didn't come up with it - it's from Cookie and Kate), but it was really delicious.  Part of what made it so tasty was the amazing salsa we got from the Mexican grocer.  I made it because it was easy, quick, cheap and healthy (and it looked good), but I think Eric and I were both actually a little surprised by how much we enjoyed it.

Kale and brussel sprout pasta salad

This is from Sprouted Kitchen.  It didn't look to me like it would be super delicious, but it was!  Easy, cheap (assuming you substitute regular pasta for soba noodles and have things like soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar in your pantry), and really healthy.
