I love this time of year! I'm so excited to go to the farmers market tomorrow! I can't wait to load up on fresh veggies! Earlier this a got a bunch of fresh zucchini. Got zucchini? I know there's a lot of it right now! Use it and some of your other veggies to make this quick and easy Pasta Primavera. It's so bright and colorful! Load it up with broccoli, carrots, zucchini, red peppers and whatever veggies that need using. The creamy homemade alfredo sauce makes this dish extra special! Why not make it this week! You can add cooked chicken or shrimp on top too!

I love making kabobs in the summer! They just feel kind of fancy! It's a nice change from the usual burgers and brats. These Italian Sausage Kabobs are crazy easy! Load them up with peppers and onions and even zucchini! I serve them hot off the grill with marinara sauce for dipping. What fun! Kids love these too! You know what they say. Everything tastes better on a stick! I agree! I make great Chicken and Veggie Kabobs and Brat Kabobs too! Click Dinner for more fun recipes that will really WOW your family and guests this summer!
