A bowl of summer vegetable soup topped with grated Swiss cheese on a tea towel with a spoon.

Summer Farro Soup with Vegetables and White Beans

This summer farro soup is made with fresh summer vegetables and cannellini beans, and topped with grated Swiss cheese. Omit the cheese to make this a vegan dish.

T U E S D A Y

A slice of mac and cheese impossible pie that has a crust, topped with scallions.

Mac 'n Cheese Impossible Pie

Impossible Pies were all the rage in the '70's. They're so easy, and now you can make macaroni and cheese without cooking the pasta first. Impossibly, so it seems, this Mac 'n Cheese Impossible Pie forms its own crust while it bakes.

W E D N E S D A Y

Zucchini, corn and bean casserole topped with cornbread, with a scooped out portion.

Zucchini Cobbler with Cornbread Topping

This zucchini cobbler with corn, yellow beans, and tomatoes is topped with cornbread batter, and then all baked together for a dish the whole family will love.

T H U R S D A Y

A cast iron skillet containing cooked quinoa, zucchini, tomatoes and fresh dill.

Quinoa Zucchini Salad with Tomatoes, Dill and Lemon

This quick zucchini quinoa salad is an excellent vegan main meal or a great side dish option. If you have cooked quinoa on hand, it can be prepared in under 20 minutes.

F R I D A Y

Two bowls of roasted tomato soup topped with a little grated cheese and basil.

Easy Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup (No Cream)

This roasted red pepper and tomato soup combines the best of a tomato basil soup with a roasted red pepper soup, for an incredibly rich flavor that far surpasses anything in a can.

A P P E T I Z E R

Close up of fire roasted cherry tomatoes and feta cheese stacked on a cracker.

Fire Roasted Tomatoes Appetizer with Feta Cheese

This fabulous roasted tomatoes appetizer is barely a recipe and gets raves at parties. Roast the tomatoes ahead, if that works better for your busy schedule. Fire roast your own tomatoes either under the broiler or in the air fryer, toss with fresh herbs, and serve with feta cheese and crackers.
