Today's menu harks back to the great diet of the Med. w/some California twists..locally grown squashes, and adding more vegetables for added depth of flavors and textures.
Although it was classed as a Summer menu, for the first time in weeks we had some morning rain, so it became Fall Like!
Have a great week & eat  MORE fresh fruit and vegetables.
