More Cooling Ideas

For this week, I received 2 suggestions - if you have any ideas to share with fellow members, please send to me at lindadansbury@comcast.net. Please put Anchor Run in the subject line so I can find your email. Click on the bolded item for the full recipe.

Laura Womack let me know that she has been placing a slice of cucumber in her glass of seltzer - refreshing and not bitter like citrus can be. The flavor lasts through 2 glasses and then she eats the slice. It is also good combined with an herb such as mint or rosemary.

Emily Mahoney is our Anchor Run "Queen of Soups" member! Her office is very cold, so she brings soup for lunch year around. Late last week she sent me a recipe for Mediterranean Stew. It is made in the slow cooker, so it doesn't heat the house up - freeze it in batches now and heat up later for an easy dinner/lunch. It includes butternut squash but I am pretty sure you can use potatoes instead if you want.
