Zucchini Squash Skillet by TheDevineKitchen
The star of this summer vegetable skillet? You guessed it, it’s zucchini. Co-stars? Fresh corn, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs, all because I adore taking advantage of what’s abundant and colorful at our local farmer’s markets and from my own vegetable garden. Extra inspiration for this dish? A former colleague took a similar recipe with quick-pickled onion to the feedfeed. Fun!

Lassi by TheDevineKitchen
Yes, ”lassi,” and I’m obsessed! If you’re not familiar with this traditional yogurt-based drink from North India, well soon you will be. Lassi has the potential to replace the smoothie market. There are health benefits linked to traditional lassi: it’s used as an overall tonic, it acts as a digestive aid, can help promote a healthy gut, cools the body in hot weather, and prevents heat exhaustion.

Frozen Fruit Popsicles by TheDevineKitchen
Homemade popsicles are delicious at any age! Typically I make them the virgin way, with seasonal fruit and local maple syrup, but sometimes I add vodka or Rosé wine. The possible mixes are endless! Popsicle making can be a fun activity with kids. My children have fond memories of picking raspberries and strawberries with their great grandfather and making these popsicles with the “fruit” of their labour. These popsicles would even make a refreshing and easy happy hour treat or dessert. I hope you enjoy these as much as my family has over the years.
