Labor Day Recipes.

Labor Day weekend is upon us!  Soon we may no longer be able to wear white, but we can use up the remaining summer bounty:  corn, tomatoes, basil and the like. 

John and I are headed to the mountains for some much needed R&R, and we can't wait to make lamb burgers, baked parmesan tomatoes and grilled corn.  The best part of these recipes is that they are easy and delicious. Which is important, because I really want to relax.  I want you to relax too, so enjoy these recipes and have a wonderful weekend!
