Savory Highlights (June)

Welcome to Savory Highlights, where we take a look at what’s been happening in the REAL food world.  Summer is is full swing, and the garden is starting to give up it’s abundant fruits.  Already found my first runaway zucchini.  I hope you are all having an amazing summer.

Here are some post from June that you won’t want to miss:
