As I look back on my summer pictures…digging the garden and capturing the progress of the herbs I grew from seed…first the little sprig poking through the soil, their first leaves …all that growth just to get to their first harvest… Pictures of family together, the grilled veggies—zucchini, corn, onions, eggplant on the grill… That salad I made with the white peaches—blushed with rose colored ripening, goat cheese and mustard vinaigrette…

My summer photos document all the fun times I have has with my sister Marnie and my Mom Liz. The shore, trips to China town, gardening, dinners… It seems all my photo always include food…And now as we savor the days of summer and even begin looking toward the fall, what better time for a recipe round up!
