Oh, boy! Where has the time gone... It feels like summer has just arrived and at the same time we're running head on into fall. But before we warm ourselves inside out with hot stews and hearty, fall salads, let's soak up summer once more and make the most of those super ripe tomatoes and endlessly growing zucchinis. Fun fact: did you know that zucchini comes from zucchina, which means tiny squash in Italian? And that courgette, which is often used synonymously for zucchini, has a French origin? ...
