It's produced by MCC (Mennonite Central Committee) and it's a collection of recipes, stories, and helpful cooking tips that are divided into seasons. The recipes in "summer" are all based on produce that grow during the summer season -- and since we are nearing our final weeks of summer (sigh!), I wanted to end with a few tasty meals, many of which are vegetarian yet extremely hearty.
Now, I'm not much of a "soup" person, but this recipe is STELLAR. Joe, myself, and our two new church interns ate this soup, and it is unbelievably delicious...so delicious that it's one of the very few things I'm blogging about (Joe is the truly committed blogger of this family). This creamy soup is packed with vegetables, is flavorful, hearty, and easily feeds 6-8 people. So, here's the recipe for "Zucchini Garden Chowder" for those willing to try something new and want to celebrate the final weeks of summer with a tasty meal (I wrote my modifications in pencil, and it still tasted amazing):
Oh, and it goes great with focaccia bread! Enjoy!!

We just had dinner with friends this past week who had picked all of the veggies fresh from the garden and cooked from recipes in that book! Lots of my co-workers and friends grow their own herbs and veggies, which inspired us to try our luck on one tomato plant. We're making salsa from it tonight! It's more fun than I thought it would be.
Thanks for the compliment Heidi! You two inspire us too! That soup is one of my favourite recipes in the whole book - yummy!
