We celebrated National Sneak Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch Day earlier this week. I was, in fact, gifted Zucchini from my neighbor. If you aren't that lucky, pick some up next time you are at your local Farmers Market because you are going to want to make this delicious Grilled Zucchini Carbonara.....
Today is the final day of Farmers Market Week......
It is sweet corn season in Michigan. Everywhere you look, there are tables of sweet corn. Farmers' Markets, Roadside Stands, Front Yards, Local Gardens. Our favorite place to get sweet corn is from a stand that opens each year called Potato Joe's. He has, hands down, the best sweet corn around.
I call this Summer Chicken Stew, not only because it is chock-full of the flavors of the season, but also because it is cooked using a slow cooker, perfect for hot summer days when you don't want to heat up the house.
A delicious, creamy fish chowder perfect as a starter or a light meal. This is one of the best fish chowders that I have ever enjoyed. The pop of dill and lemon added right before serving is a game-changer.
Our fifth child is from China. She joined our family as an exchange student almost 20 years ago and quickly became a child of our hearts. In June of 2024, she married a wonderful man from France.

What's better than having a garden? Having a generous neighbor with a garden. I was gifted a gorgeous batch of yellow wax beans the other day. I cooked them simply so as to relish their deliciousness.
