As our backyard is slowly showing signs of Autumn, I have been filling our weekly menu with the last of Summer fare...lots of garden veggies, berries, and pasta salads!

Add a bit of olive oil.

it's always a good idea to have a messy project going on outside, too.  As if the peach mess inside wasn't bad enough!!
