Peach blueberry muffins – I might try subbing whole wheat flour for half of the white.

Carrot, fennel, and potato soup – I’ll use a whole fennel bulb and a whole onion, instead of the halves the recipe calls for. Because I’m hardcore like that.

Heirloom tomato sandwich – Layer sliced Valley Girl tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and basil on ciabatta spread with hummus. Delightful.

Chilled beet salad – One of my favorites. Roast or boil peeled beets till tender. Toss with your favorite salad greens, some crumbled goat cheese, walnuts, and balsamic vinaigrette.

Farro, avocado, cucumber, and cherry tomato salad – Unlike the previous salad, this could serve as a meal. Add chicken if you need some meat. Farro is also called spelt, and barley makes a nice substitute.

If you get sorrel, here’s a good list of sorrel recipes.
