It is the time of year to lounge by a pool or have a picnic by a quiet pond. It is not a time to spend hours preparing a meal. Fortunately the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables in the summer means meals don't need a lot of preparation to be tasty. The following are quick, healthy dishes that you can substitute any vegetables you want into the mix, it will still taste wonderful.
So relax, it's summer... enjoy the simple things.

ReplyDeleteLovely round-uo - everything looks GOOD
Thanks Winnie and they all can be made vegetarian.
DeleteI am ready for summer to be over, the heat and humidity are nasty here this week :) I love frittata, I haven't made one ages!
ReplyDeleteI just made my first fritatta of season and my family loved it.
DeleteOh my gosh, all of these dishes look incredible, but I am drooling over the Escarole and White Beans…my kind of food! We had a salad for dinner last night it’s just been too hot to cook or eat!
ReplyDeleteKathy,
DeleteI love escarole and beans, scarole as my grandmother called it. It is my summer comfort food. I hope you get to make some soon.
I will take on of each, at least one of each, of the recipes. Diane, I have to come back and get these, really. We could eat, all summer, from your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I do eat these recipes all summer. My favorite Italian food is summer food.
