I am the kind of parent that childless people hate. I take my kids to hip restaurants and am not deterred by the complete lack of booster seats, high chairs, or chicken fingers on the menu. I am simply not content to while away my weekends at home or limit our outings to places that have designated stroller parking. I wheel our mammoth double wide into petite boutiques and carry my cooing baby into austere galleries. We boldly go where no family unit has gone before.

Heartland. Homestyle.

I tried my hand at a recipe from Judith Fertig’s wonderful cookbook/travel guide/portrait of the Midwest, Heartland the Cookbook this week.  I used zucchini and lettuce fresh from my garden and paired the Summertime Squash and Red Bell Pepper Salad with some open faced Gruyere sandwiches.

It was simple, refreshing, and very satisfying.

Tip: Rainy Day Books in Fairway still has some signed copies of Heartland for sale.
