Summer Share: Week 7

Posted on July 16th, 2021 by Lauren and Craig Kreutzer

We are feeling the shift towards peak summer. Brassicas are slowing down - with cauliflower and napa cabbage making their first appearance for the season. Yellow summer squash, zucchini, and cucumbers are plentiful this week. We spotted the first few ripening cherry tomatoes in the hoophouse, and the melon vines have baby melons on them! 

We are savoring the first zucchini and summer squash of the season. My favorite way to enjoy them (other than in this lemon zucchini cake) is Deborah Madison's zucchini and chard stewed in olive oil. Topped with parmesan cheese and a couple of fried eggs, this is a comforting, nourishing dish. I like it with the zesty addition of sweet marjoram. 

Happy eating!

Craig, Lauren, and the Meadowlark family and crew
