Black Beans, Corn, and Yellow Rice
I put this black beans, corn, and yellow rice together with what I had in my pantry. It makes a lot and is quite inexpensive. Serve with tortilla chips or as a filling for flour tortillas. It's even better the next day.
Ratatouille
This ratatouille recipe is my version of the terrific French vegetable stew made with fresh tomatoes and lots of summer vegetables. It's very versatile side dish and makes a delicious vegetarian main dish, too.

This plum crisp is a sweet and tangy dessert I've made for years to make use of all that fruit from my plum tree. It's a summer favorite, with or without vanilla ice cream!
