June 11-17

This week we are fully embracing summer in our cooking by having a theme in each of our chosen recipes: zucchini and summer squash. Price Chopper was having a 10 for 10 sale on each of them, so that was another reason for finding recipes with the summer vegetables. In looking through our recipes, of course we found that Rachael Ray uses zucchini and summer squash regularly in her summer recipes, so it wasn't hard to come up with the menu.

Some of the recipes are old stand-bys and some are completely new, including a pizza we are coming up with completely on our own. We are also having dinner with some friends and celebrating father's day with both dads this weekend.

Enjoy the recipes, and if you feel inclined to try some let us know how things went. We LOVE to hear when someone gives our recipes a try!
