If possible, buy them at your local Farmer’s Market or look for locally grown tomatoes at your supermarket. You can also use whole cherry tomatoes or “gourmet”…

Whole Grain Pita Bread by Salad Foodie

Out of pita bread one day and too lazy to go shop, I decided to haul out the bread machine and make pita bread dough. The recipe is whole grain, but not 100%. Still it's a notch up nutritionally from regular white pita bread. Makes 1 1/2 pounds, or ten pita breads. One serving is half of a pocket bread so theoretically the recipe…

Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Sesame Sauce by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious healthy grilled side or main dish. In Korea, this is commonly served by street vendors, especially during the bitter winter. I enjoy it just as much during the summer.

Thai pickled beans or asparagus by Mama_B

I pickled green beans this way last year and we're still enjoying them now. Thai basil is relatively easy to find now, and is wonderful to grow.

Fettuccini with Broccoli Rabe by Suzi

There are times when you just can't say no to pasta. This dish is faily easy to prepare. Broccoli Rabe was in a prominent spot in the produce section the other day and that goes very nicely with pasta. I whipped up an Alfredo sauce and added in sun-dried tomatoes (still on the sun-dried tomato kick). You might consider this a…
