Meals In Minutes -
Simple Summer Suppers
Whether you’re feeding your family or entertaining your friends, summer is the season to prepare the tastiest possible meals while expending the least possible effort. Keep your cool in the kitchen by cooking on the stove top, instead of using the oven. Rely on recipes that can be prepared ahead of time, to fit your schedule. Finally, round out the main dish with simple accompaniments, such as fresh steamed vegetables or one of our ready-to-serve side dishes.
Green veggies brighten any meal. Steaming or microwaving is a quick way to cook while maintaining nutrients. Asparagus, one of the season’s most elegant and versatile vegetables, complements many dishes. Serve it warm, lightly steamed and buttered, with a sprinkle of lemon juice, or at room temperature, dressed with olive oil, garlic, and a bit of balsamic vinegar. Try fresh green beans, sliced zucchini, or broccoli florets steamed and tossed with a can of drained diced tomatoes and a sprinkling of scallions.
