Citrus Summer-Squash Side Dish

This is a very simple recipe from a Unitarian recipe cookbook a friend gave me. (I have no afiliation). Remove skin from yellow squash and zucchini with peeler. Cut squash and zucchini into julienne and set aside. In a small bowl whisk orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, salt & pepper until well blended. Toss the zucchini with the dressing, add some chopped parsely or basil (or both) and serve. Store in refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Tomato Chickpea Tofu

Found this photo in an old directory...Can't recall how I made it, but it's probably just canned tomatoes, chickpeas and maybe a little white wine?

Chocolate-Covered Blueberries

Blueberries and chocolate? What could be better!

Happy Independence Day!

Strawberry jello, real whipped cream and blueberries on top. A little shipping of fresh mint tops it off!

Cod with Mango, Craisins and Riesling

Sorry about the poor photography, I was hungry!! This dish consists of Cod, a Champaigne Mango, Craisins (re-constituted in hot water), leeks and Riesling wine. Just cut the Mango into dice, slice the leeks thinly, add the cranberries and pour in some Riesling. Add salt and pepper to taste. Wrap in foil and put on the grill or in the oven. On the grill this took about 8 minutes to cook at a pretty high temperature (over 500 deg.).
