Ready, Set, Green Week Two: Eating My Way Green By Team Planet Green IN Food & Health Jun 23 2008 Of all the ways to go green, I'm the most excited about changing how we eat.

I even collect recipes perfect for fresh summer produce, including one for a strawberry cream pie. I can't wait. + READ MORE

Soup of the Week: Asparagus By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jun 6 2008 I was happy to find a straight forward recipe for asparagus soup, other than the chevre filled squash blossoms in tempura batter that you are supposed to whip up and put on top. The chef goes into great detail about how you build up a platform in the bottom of the soup bowl so that your squash blossom doesn't fall into the soup. There you go, scaffolding in the soup. You might well be wondering how I got the sour cream and chives to sit on top of the soup rather than sinking to the bottom in my photo. It's a secret, but be careful where you place your spoon. + READ MORE
