Simple, vibrant and versatile, this tasty roasted tomato soup can be served hot or cold. With just a few ingredients, including roasted ripe tomatoes as the stars of the show, you can have a soup bursting with flavor and color in just over 30 minutes.

Are you one of those fortunate people whose garden produced more tomatoes than you know what to do with? Or do you simply love garden-fresh, homegrown tomatoes and seek them out at every turn? (That would be me. I love finding little produce stands along the side of the road where people are selling their tomatoes, corn, peppers, and other seasonal abundance.) Either way, this recipe is a wonderful way to use those ripe tomatoes.

Why not pair two of summer’s favorite fruits in these simply delicious muffins?Peach Blueberry Muffins work great as part of breakfast or as a tasty snack. These muffins are subtly sweet and moist, showcasing the sunny flavor of peaches and the tart juicy blueberries. And the beauty of muffins is that they are very portable and easy to pack for when you’re on the go.

The peach crop in Michigan must be going well this year because the local peaches I have tasted so far this summer have been juicy and flavorful! I added blueberries to the peaches because that is one of my favorite summer combinations of fruit, and we have a freezer full of recently-frozen blueberries that a friend brought us from South Haven, Michigan. It is such a genuine pleasure to enjoy these gems when they are in season.

Crispy, crunchy, and oh so simple to make, this cabbage, kale, and radicchio salad is the perfect side dish to take on a picnic, to the beach, or to your own dining table.

A homemade dressing lends plenty of zing to a refreshing combination of robust leafy vegetables. The vibrant radicchio adds a beautiful magenta color, along with a slight bitterness that cleanses the palate. Not only is this a pretty salad, but it is full of nutrition and it holds up well if you need to pack it in a cooler for a picnic lunch.
