DIY VEGETABLE BOUILLON

This is life-changing stuff, an all-vegetable mixture that's kept in the freezer, then scooped out a teaspoon at a time (salt preserves and softens the mixture to make it scoopable).

'Faux' foods don't excite me but a tofu mixture that looks-acts-tastes-like-a-duck, I mean egg salad, this does. This recipe was the season's first contribution to Kitchen Parade's Summer Easy, a collection of easy summer recipes.

Stuffed Pumpkin with Apple & Cranberry

SO PRETTY ON THE TABLE

NARY A MARSHMALLOW IN SIGHT
