You’ve tilled the ground, planted and watered the seeds, and now you’re harvesting the beautiful benefits of your hard work in your garden. And, even if you don’t have a garden, perhaps you’re planning on attending the farmer’s market or your local grocery store to load up on some healthy vegetables.
You’ve got tomatoes, squash, zucchini, carrots, and so much more to feed your cells an abundance of nutrition. You might wonder what kinds of meals you will create with such a variety of vegetables. As some of my students know, I love vegetables! And, today, I’d like to share several tasty recipes you can use using your garden vegetables.
