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.
