My Market Menu: July Edition

This month’s market menu was celebrating star ingredients in unexpected ways. I wanted to find simple ingredients but use them in a slightly non-traditional way. This month I came home with ranch dressing mix, fresh zucchini, and ginger wine syrup from a local winery. It seemed slightly eclectic, but it turned into a very special menu with cheesy ranch rolls, stuffed zucchini soup, and a very special blueberry cake soaked in the ginger wine syrup. When I say I loved this month, I LOVED this month! I ended up making everything on this menu several times, and probably will again next month too! So here’s my market menu for July! Are you hungry? Let’s dive in!

Apple Pie In a Mug: Easier Than Pie!

Ever heard of the phrase “Easy as Pie?” I hate to break it to you, but while pie is my ultimate favorite dessert to bake and eat, pie isn’t always easy. There are lots of steps involved. The perfect flaky crust can be so elusive, and it’s quite time consuming. However, there is nothing better than the buttery, cinnamony goodness of an apple pie baking in the oven. All the cozy smells in the house are comforting and warm. So, if you are looking for a delicious mouthful of apple pie without any of the hassle, look no further! Apple pie in a mug really is easier than pie!
