Summer Veggie Fun -- Menu for July 13 - 19

I love summer for only one reason: Produce.

It's cheap, abundant, delicious and everywhere in the summer with produce stands, farmers' markets and neighborhood dabblers. We found great produce at Sunflower Farmer's Market on Sunday and with so much great produce to eat, who needs meat? This week, it's mainly vegetarian fare or a minimum of meat.
