Hi Friend,

Gardens are now producing in abundance, and farmer's markets are teeming with fruits and vegetables at their most flavorful. What better time to whip up a delicious meatless meal? The recipes below are filled with options for your seasonal market finds, as well as my favorite mocha icebox pie... because I can't think of a better way to finish off a summery vegetarian meal!

TOMATO PESTO TART WITH CAULIFLOWER CRUST - What a delicious way to prepare garden-fresh tomatoes with basil! This recipe is completely grain and gluten free, and it's divine. Cauliflower bakes together with spices, cheese, and egg to create a tasty base for a bevy of Italian-inspired toppings. RECIPE HERE or   PIN IT  for later.

ROASTED PEPPER SALAD -  A super simple way to prepare and serve roasted peppers. I make it regularly because my husband loves it so much. It's best served on a piece of crusty bread, or as a side dish for grilled chicken or fish. RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later.

PEACH SANGRIA - In this lighter sangria, white wine, peach liqueur, and ginger ale combine to create a subtly sparkling peach sangria. This sweet and summery beverage is crisp, clean, and very easy to prepare. Enjoy it to cool down on a hot summer evening. RECIPE HERE or  PIN IT for later.
