Summer is the perfect time for grilling outside and keeping the house cool. So this week’s recipe’s ingredients are done on the grill and is appropriately named Farmers’ Market Pizza (adapted from vegetarian times magazine). Pizza, like soup, is a variable thing. Feel free to add your own favorite toppings to suit your taste.

Market News
A note from In Town Organics: They have lots of edamame at a discounted price this week and need to sell it! Edamame is easy to freeze and enjoy later in the year, simply blanch it in boiling water for 5 minutes, cool, and pack into freezer bags. They also have discounted beets and carrots. Stock up now as they will not be available for awhile.
