Greetings!
Welcome to the first in our new Recipe of the Month series! Since Meals on Wheels of Syracuse is all about nutritious meals that taste good, we thought we'd share some healthy recipes with the community. This monthly feature will include healthy recipes from our own kitchen, local restaurant chefs and area foodies. According to our local farmers, both tomatoes and cukes are in season for just a bit longer so try this recipe after the BBQ and fried dough of the NY State Fair have worn off and tell us what you think. Sincerely,
Katherine N. Lowe, CFRE
