This recipe reminds me of how great simple, uncomplicated recipes can be. What astounds me is how my insides feel when I eat 'pure', like a cool stream over shiny rocks on a sunny day - refreshing and invigorating.

Vinegar-glazed zucchini
A family friend made this when we visited her Tuscan villa, as part of a meal that also included wild arugula picked from the hillside, and oil and vinegar from her olives and grapes. Needless to say it’s never tastes quite as good in my plebeian kitchen, but it’s still pretty yummy!

I made this recipe up while spending a hot summer in Virginia, looking for something cool and refreshing to eat. It works with any dressing or spices you may want to add, so it can appeal to anyone, or be slightly different each time you make it! I have enjoyed it with some added ranch or chili flavors. An easy way to add flavor is to buy pre-seasoned almonds.

Pureed Roasted Parsnips and Butternut Squash w/ Creme Fraiche
The winter squash and parsnips at our local markets have been so flavorful and juicy in the past few months. I've been using them a lot. I needed a strong tasting vegetable dish for testing a stock recipe a few weeks ago, so I naturally decided to use some parsnips I had on hand. I happened to have a butternut squash, too, so I put them together. The combination of spicy and sweet is heavenly, especially when the squash is richly caramelized. To take the edge off, while giving this brightly hued combination a luxurious feel, I stirred in some creme fraiche right before eating. A few grains of the nicest finishing salt I have was all it needed. Perfection in a bowl. Mmmmmmm. Enjoy!!
Super Garlic Parmesan Bread
