So this last week was insanely hot! Temps over 100 degrees and we have no a/c, so I was NOT cooking much and definitely nothing new and exciting. But this was the same week we got our first delivery of our CSA (community supported agriculture) bin! I also read a great article on the NY Times by Micheal Pollen about how American’s don’t enjoy cooking/don’t really cook these days and it inspired me to defy current American trends.

So when the weather cooled down, I was excited to organize my fridge filled with fresh, local organic foods and start visioning what I could do with them. Last night I made a simple dinner using great tasting ingredients. The main dish was whole wheat spaghetti noodles tossed with pesto and heirloom baby tomatoes. I grilled (on the stove top) zuchinni spears and topped with parmesean cheese. Super simple, but tasty! Can’t wait to look at my ingredients tonight and figure something else out to do!
