Last but not least the wonderful farm crew from Hutchins. Clearly taking a RARE afternoon break to read my spread. People sure know how to make this farmer feel good. I can't take the smile off of my face. I truly am glowing!

I celebrated all the love by grilling up these awesome veggie kebabs. Actually, Taylor did the grilling, I just made the miso glaze and assembled the skewers. They were divine!

We are finally harvesting eggplant (one of my favorite vegetables!) and with the addition of some local mushrooms these skewers truly are straight from the farm. We are trying to get as creative as possible so we don't get sick of summer squash and zucchini. Grilled kebabs are the way to go. And the miso sauce....you could drink it with a straw. So stinking good.

We enjoyed our kebabs over red quinoa and a bunch of minced cilantro. The result was nothing short of amazing. It doesn't get easier or tastier than this.
