Adapted from Hetty Lui McKinnon and “To Vegetables, With Love.” This sheet pan minestrone is wonderful. I’ve become a fan of refrigerated filled pasta. My husband loves it and will gladly consume vegetables when there’s filled pasta on the same plate. Plus we got lots of tomatoes this week and you’ll want to use them in this dish. ~Conne
We’re making this sandwich with thinly sliced zucchini and potatoes – an idea from Deb Perlman of Smitten Kitchen who got it from Bon Appetit back in June 2001.
A recipe from Sarah Copeland of the Edible Living Substack. Make this with the best tinned tuna you can find.

Not your mom’s potato salad!
And if you need another idea for the kale and potatoes, how about the recipe for Garlic-Braised Greens and Potatoes down below? I have two heads of garlic left from earlier in the year, and again, maybe you do, too.
Seeing all the pretty peppers, including the dark green poblanos, reminded me about the Cajun-style Potato Salad recipe down below. The original called for the addition of crisped bacon, but the salad is so flavorful, I didn’t think it needed bacon. Feel free to add back in!
After last week’s raw green bean salad, this week I’m cooking the beans. I have been craving a hearty stew and will make Stella Dillard’s Beef Curry Noodles and add green beans to her recipe. It’s down below – a long one but delicious and well worth the time. With temperatures in the 40s coming our way, I love having a recipe like this on tap. Just cooking it is warming enough. The AJC ran this recipe in October 2022.
Stella uses leafy greens in her recipe, and any of today’s greens would work just fine. I’m subbing in those green beans.
Dillard suggests that Kaffir lime leaves, fresh spices in small quantities and wide array of yellow curry pastes can be found at Buford Highway Farmers Market. For the curry paste, she recommends reading the ingredient lists and trying a few to find your favorite.
