Menu For Week of Aug. 22nd/My farm box runneth over!

Hello Healthy Friends -

My CSA box from Avalon Acres (CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture) was larger than usual when I picked it up yesterday! It was brimming with beautiful, organic tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers....three of the main ingredients in Gazpacho. My Gazpacho will be on the menu this week and it is made with all fresh ingredients. It absolutely "tastes" like summer!

Another good summertime side is on the menu too: Spinach & Strawberry Salad With Toasted Almonds & Poppy Seed Dressing (low fat/low sugar of course!). The recipe is my mom's and she has served it at dinner parties for as long as I can remember. She used to worry that it was "too frilly" for men, but over the years many a burly man has asked for second and third servings of it!

Rounding out the summer sides is the Creamy Squash Casserole. It is the one with fat-free cream cheese and mild green chiles. I have been known to put some on a plate with a big stack of fresh, sliced tomatoes and consider it a meal!

Pick-up will be Monday, Aug. 22nd after 10 AM. Delivery to PPE will be at 11:30.
