The Perfect Summertime Dinner

We hope you are having a wonderful, fun-filled summer!  We have been enjoying the awesome weather and of course all of our homegrown organic goodies!

A lot of people don’t feel much like cooking when the temperatures peak into the 80’s and 90’s, not to mention the humidity too.  We’d be lying if we said that we don’t have those days too.

So, we wanted to share one of our favorite, delicious, easy organic dinner recipes with you, perfect for those hot summer days!  If you own a toaster oven, this dinner will be sweat-free as well!
