Roasted Vegetables
The roasted vegetables are a great side dish and can be served hot or cold. We had them for lunch with some artichoke garlic herb bread and sunny side up eggs. It was simple but really good.

The corn looked fantastic and the cherry tomatoes were super sweet. Hungry Bear told me that she had never cooked with okra, which surprised me, so that was a must get. The end result of our market bounty was this veggie sauté.

Spicy Fresh Corn Salad – A Taste of Yellow 2008
Hungry Bear and I made a spicy fresh corn salad. It’s a simple salad made with corn, red onions, basil and a vinaigrette. For a spicy kick, I threw in a few Thai chili peppers. It’s a light, refreshing salad that’s perfect for a picnic/BBQ or a hot summer day.

Trader Joe’s One Clove Per Head Garlic
