Something New for Your Family Table Week #23...Zucchini Pie

Happy July friends!!! We are in settling right into Summer here and it feels so good!! One of our favorite Summer things to do is get fresh produce from local farmers markets. I would like to say I can grow my own, however between bunnies, deer and my less than stellar watering abilities it doesn't quite happen!

Anyway, one of my favorite Summer veggies is squash...zucchini or yellow squash. And it always plentiful at our local markets. I have done all kinds of different recipes with it, from zucchini bread, to zucchini boats, roll-ups or just roasting it.

 I came across  this recipe for  zucchini pie and was excited to try it. 

Something New for Your Family Table.....Week #19 Spring Grain Bowls

Happy Tuesday friends!!  I am still loving eating more plant based meals each week. We have been sticking to about 2 per week and am really building up a stash of great recipes. Here is a recent one we made and will definitely make again!

I love "bowls.  I like to layer different, unexpected flavors in a bowl. I think they look pretty and taste so fresh! I found this recipe for Spring Grain Bowls from Cooking Light. 

I followed the recipe, but also added some grilled shrimp and a little goat cheese.

 I loved the crispness of the peas and carrots. Our grocery store carries shredded beets that have some flavor added. I got a smoky chile flavor and they were so good

These bowls were pretty simple to make and you could easily sub the farro for another grain. We normally do quinoa or couscous, but we all liked the farro. It has kind of a nutty flavor. Just a heads up that it does take a bit longer to cook than most grains. 

This dish would be perfect to take on the go if your kids have activities around dinner time and would also make a great lunch!!  And you can get creative with whatever veggies you want to add!

See you tomorrow for my May Book Review. There's always room for one more at our family table.
