Judith Winfrey’s Yellow Squash with Tomatoes and Parmesan

Susan Puckett published this recipe in Atlanta magazine. Judith Winfrey is the co-owner of Love Is Love Farm at Gaia Gardens.

Grits, Cheese and Chile Casserole

Sometimes we forget that grits are a great vehicle for lots of flavors. Cheese is a natural – but how about adding chiles? If you have fresh peppers, use those. Or use those delicious canned chopped green chiles as the recipe calls for. It’s from Prevention.

Southern Pickled Kale

Pine Street Market entered this dish in the 2012 Market Mashup at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market. It’s sort of fun that it doesn’t include any of their own ingredients.

Cherry Tomato Vanilla Bean Preserves

You might not need this recipe with the first sweet, sweet cherry tomatoes of the season, but if you end up with a bounty of cherry tomatoes – this is a great way to use them up.

I cannot remember where I got this recipe but it’s delicious with goat cheese. Or over ice cream. Yes!

Pectin is sold with canning supplies in small Jello-size boxes with brand names like Sure-Jell, but also in store brands. I think Ball maybe is now also selling a small “bulk” container so you can just spoon out a teaspoon or so rather than using a whole box to make a batch of jams. Great for small batch preserving.

Hawaiian Style Sesame Cabbage Salad

This recipe was originally published in Saveur magazine.

Beet, Rice and Goat Cheese Burgers

This recipe was published in the New York Times. A really yummy veggie burger. Unless I plan to serve my beets raw, I go ahead and cook the whole batch (either wrapped in foil as a big bundle and baked, or put into a large microwave-proof container with a little water, covered, and allowed to steam in the microwave). Now I have roasted or steamed beets to pickle, slice into salads, or turn into dishes like this.

Cucumber Cooler

A recipe without provenance. Simple syrup is a mixture of one part granulated sugar and one part water, heated enough to dissolve the sugar. It will keep in your refrigerator for weeks and is the perfect way to sweeten iced tea – no undissolved sugar in the bottom of the glass.

Stacked Summer Vegetable Salad

A recipe from the Wednesday morning Dunwoody Farmers Market.
