Wrapping up the Summer

It went by so fast...I barely dipped into the fresh peaches and already the corn is here! If you're in the process of harvesting a bumper crop of zucchini, this is prime time to add this nutritious veggie to your meals. For meals beyond zucchini bread, try:
- Stuffed Zucchini (Zucchini Boats) and Sandwiches
- Zucchini Coleslaw
- Lentil Soup
- Zucchini Tahini Soup
- Grilled and Sauteed Zucchini
One of my favourite summer memories (besides wrestling zucchini off the plant) was making the long trek to the Chip Wagon with my mother. It was a treat reserved for the days when we had all the time in the world. We'd sit and feed the seagulls while eating ketchup-smothered fries in the sun. Summer is a relaxed time, which makes it hard to get back into the groove of school and work. Like it or not, it's time to trade in patio lunches and fries for the trusty brown bag lunch....though I carry a reusable lunch bag now.
To help you transition back to school and work, try these vegetarian brown bag lunch ideas:
Even if it's a touch depressing to go back to the daily grind, at least there will be some good food to get us through the day.
