I hope you're all enjoying the summer as much as I am. The garden is flourishing and I'm picking a bumper crop of cucumbers every other day!! We're also picking lots of peas....the sugar snap variety. They are so delicious lightly steamed and served as a side dish. They're also great in salads. I'm not innundated with squash yet...the summer squash and zucchini are off to a slow start this year. I can't figure out why, but they are coming along, and by next week I'll probably be wondering why I was so worried about them! The tomatoes and peppers are right on schedule, and we've been picking a few tomatoes every day....there's just nothing like freshly picked ripe tomatoes!!
I have posted the August 2002 Recipe of the Month to my website at http://www.geocities.com/itkwm
This month's recipe is Sausage & Pepper Bread. I started making this a few years ago as a snack to bring to work and share with my friends. It has been a real favorite, but is not diet friendly, so this month I decided to try lightening up the recipe and have featured it in the Recipe Make-Over segment of the website. Hope you will enjoy it too!
New recipes in the Weight Watchers segment this month Include Sugar Snap Peas & Beans- 4 points, Sausage & Pepper Bread- 7 points, Garden Vegetable Deviled Eggs, 1 point, and Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken, 8 points.
Enjoy the rest of your summer....the next time I write this newsletter the kids will be going back to school!!
