Seasoned Cooking

If you are planning an end of summer picnic, make sure you give a nod to the vegetarians in your gathering by making these amazing mushroom and roasted pepper sandwiches. But make more than you think you'll need ... they've been known to get gobbled up by the carnivores as well!

Summer's finest produce finds itself in a garden-inspired Shrimp Pad Thai. Everything from golden corn to tender zucchini to crisp carrots star in this seasonal spin on a favorite dish from Thailand.
