If August heat has lulled your family into a culinary stupor, it’s time to wake up your taste buds! This week we’re featuring recipes that use familiar summer foods in delicious but unexpected ways.
Take the cucumber, for instance. This summer staple comes alive this week in Cucumber and Black Eyed Pea Salad paired with grilled Ranch Chicken. Wrap up the meal with Aunt Dotty’s Rhubarb Pie where a creamy custard sauce balances sweet-tart fruity flavors.
Be sure to add these and other delicious summer recipes to your family meal plan and shopping list.
