One Local Summer – Week 10

I really cannot believe it’s week ten already. I just didn’t feel like getting everything together and seriously cooking this week, but I did manage a meal. This week, I bring you a veggie panini! Vegetable Panini: Bread – Saint Peter’s Bakery. This is their wheat bread. Yellow Squash – Arrgh I can never remember [...]
