The Box Meal Plan: June 16th & 17th

 Watermelon, Lime and Mint Granita

-Granita is pretty much chunky, homemade italian ice, but it is delicious and easy to make in your home freezer. This recipe calls for watermelon, lime, and mint, all of which are available locally this time of year.

Pickled Cucumbers & Onions
 
-With cucumbers being so abundant this time of year, there is no reason not to always have a jar of homemade pickles in your fridge. This quick recipe for pickles doesn't require canning and will last up to two weeks (covered) in your fridge.

Oven Dried Tomatoes

-Delicious heirloom tomatoes are a wonderful treat during the summertime, but unfortunately their shelf life is considerably shorter than the run of the mill, commercial varieties. To make them last a little longer, dry them out in an oven with some olive oil and herbs.

 Chilled Carrot and Summer Squash Soup

-Carrots aren't a typical summer produce item here in Louisiana, but we got some bunches coming in anyway. This recipe mixes carrots and with readily available summer squash to make a quick and easy flavorful soup.
