Hi Reader, August and September tend to be the hottest months where I live in Southern California. While I've seen the "everything pumpkin spice" display front and center at my local supermarket, I'm not remotely ready for it. Instead I'm savoring the summer flavors (and trying to stay cool) with these favorite no-cook recipes: ☀️ Italian White Bean Salad: Vivian said, "This is great. Sometimes I throw in Romaine or Boston Lettuce." ☀️ Cold Spanish Soup: Lucy said, "Absolutely delicious! I made it with fresh vegetables from my garden." ☀️ Green Pepper Salad with Tomatoes: Jenna said, "Absolutely FANTASTIC! Added some chopped green onions, eliminated the oil since we are WFPBNO, and it is simply one of the best salads of the Summer!"

And I know other readers love it, too. 💚 Love and Veggies, Amy |

Hi Reader, Have you ever had Panzanella? It's an Italian bread and tomato salad. It may have originally been created to use up day-old bread, but you don't need to wait for your bread to become stale to make it. Instead take fresh sourdough and bake the cubes in the oven for a few minutes until they are dry and crisp.
