Another favorite from Andi Wolff, this tasty recipe is best with in season produce but would still be delicious with fresh produce from our market now. This Green Bean Salad calls for fresh green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onions and chickpeas with a homemade vinaigrette.

I stumbled upon this creation one day when we were preparing for a cook-out and I needed a last minute, easy ‘starch’ side.

Apple Slab Pie with Maple Glaze
This recipe for apple slab pie with a maple glaze would be an excellent dessert option for a large group. Here’s what the author, Pat Nogar of Living Well with Pat Nogar says about it: “Because I often bake for church coffee hour, I began experimenting with a form of pie that easily feeds a hungry horde: the Slab Pie. It’s a genius form of pie – thanks to whoever created it – that is easily made in a jelly roll pan and neatly serves up with little fuss. It also showcases apples beautifully. My favorite recipe is a slab pie that’s slathered with a maple glaze.” – Pat Nogar
