We are fully in summer, which means long, hot days for everyone. Cooking big meals on the stove, and using the oven can only make a house hotter during these dog days. A favorite meal or snack in our house is a simple, yet colorful veggie plate with hummus. The mix of colors, and textures is pleasing to the eye, and the taste buds. This week we’ve compiled a list of recipes that are easy to whip up when the heat makes you feel like you can’t even. The featured picture contains all Rootbound vegetables, and a member submitted recipe for beet hummus.
