garlic – we don't need to tell you who to use up this little gem. We like the look of this roasted beet and garlic pesto.

carrots – we like ‘em raw with dip!
(Remove the carrot tops (they leach moisture from the roots) before storing them both in plastic bags in the fridge)
cucumbers – we like ‘em sliced with a little salt. OR maybe in this garlicky peanut butter cold noodles.
(store in the fridge)
beans – beans beans beans! we're nearing the end of the season!!

tomatoes – aren’t they gorgeous!? why not try their heirloom tomato and beet salad? we also want to try this pasta with tomatoes, garlic, basil and brie. check out this recipe for tomato fried rice - we can't wait to try this!!!!!!!
(store on the counter, never in the fridge)
onion – finally the onions are ready!!

beets - check out this recipe for heirloom tomato and beet salad. We love the idea of this sparkling beet lemonade. We've also been meaning to try out this sweet beet martini. Why not use up your beet greens in this milk-braised beet greens recipe. Also, this roasted beet and garlic pesto look good.
(remove tops and store in the fridge)
mixed lettuce greens – you know what to do with these!
(store in the fridge)
parsley – this White Bean Soup with Garlic and Parsley looks good.
