Or otherwise known as: Veggie Mini Burger Pita with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce or as I refer to it as, Quinoa Burger. I *heart* Quinoa right know. I gorge myself with it at least every other day. It reminds me of steel cut oats, as far as the cooking process goes. Usually, I make it right on the stove top, bringing 2 cups a H2O to 1 cup on Quinoa to a boil, take the lid off and let simmer for say 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is dissolved. Then you throw in your choice of vegetables, if you are feeling spunky add some feta. Yummy.

 

Please excuse my lack of concentration. Back to the recipe at hand. The burgers were very flavorful but the "icing on the cake" was *insert deep moan* the cucumber yogurt sauce. Heavenly! If you are a fan of Tetzki Sauce, you will adore this. I plated them in two forms, choose your preference; I enjoyed the Burger form and Dexter preferred the Pita form. Both equally as delicious.

Grilled Succotash...

Here at the farmstead, we now have an abundance of fresh produce from our garden. So we try to utilize all of the vegetables, to their highest potential. A succotash, is the perfect way to get all of those wonderful ingredients into one dish. This recipe I was especially excited about because it called for a very light vinaigrette. The marriage of produce, paired elegantly with dressing, taking it up that one extra notch. We found it to be quite satisfying! I actually used this as a two part meal. Making it as a side dish solo first, then later on in the week, I added the left over succotash to a warm bed of linguine (mixed in butter and parm cheese). A dual threat if I may say so.

Eva's Veracruz Corn

"Now that is some darn good corn", says HH as he wipes the kernals from his chin! The day has finally came when my FB has branched out of the "traditional" right off the shuck corn (now don't get me wrong that too is quite scrumptious), and has now found an alternative method to a side dish favorite. This dish gives corn a whole new meaning in life. Just the different textures alone, creates an instant repetitious behavior from plate to mouth. The crispiness of the fried tortillas, the sauteed vegetables, the hint of the pungent Aioli, then topped off with the saltiness of the Queso Fresco; Veracruz Corn is quite simply superb! It is know wonder that this succulent side is a best seller at Beso Restaurant, in Hollywood California. Now you too can cook a posh style dish in your humble-abode too.

Summer/Winter Corn Fettuccine.....

I am a pasta fanatic! Even as a youth, I can recall always devouring any kind of noodles that were placed in front of me. Yet through the years, my intake for a rich pasta is only for special occasions, as my hip will not allow me other wise. And I can not seem to resist only a recommended palm full, as suggested to be proper portion control. But every once in a blue moon, I prepare a dish full of noodles. An entree, that I know full well that I will consume in a record pace in order to fulfill my cravings successfully. But it is so worth the extended hours at the gym, to satisfy my deepest desire.

Thus, coming across this entree I was very pleased with not only the final outcome, but all of the vegetables that were hidden within. This dish is loaded with a corn base. Each year, we freeze bags and bags of irresistible sweet corn so was a perfect dish for us. This would also be great for any kiddo's whom you have to sneak some veg's too.

I added shredded chicken to this entree, to have some much needed protein for HH and Baby D. Thank heavens, they enjoyed as much as I did so I would over indulge myself.
