This time around I've gone with one that is perfect for the season at hand as all the fresh vegetables are being harvested and you'll find an abundance of them at the farmers market, or if you are lucky enough in the garden in your backyard.

I happened to have a fridge full of veggies so it inspired me to create this version. This lasagna is loaded with them so it makes these a more nutritious alternative to the meaty lasagna.

Yeah the cheese might not be as nutritious but it's the only way you could ever get me to eat that many vegetables at once - if there's a generous amount of cheese to go along with it.

You could probably use a little less cheese to make them healthier, but really, why would we do a thing like that? Cheese and dessert make life good, right :)?

At least once this summer, buy plenty of plum tomatoes at the farmers market, or save some from your garden and make this soup! This is one of the best things I've made with fresh tomatoes. Yes, you have to boil and peel the tomatoes and roast the garlic in the oven both of which are a few annoying extra steps, but the few extra steps make this soup what it is. The classic San Marzano tomatoes make a great soup, but garden tomatoes simply have the best flavor!
