Here are some of the recipes we have created. We hope you enjoy!

Veggie City Garlic Sauce
½ cup of extra virgin olive oil
Bunch of oregano
Bunch of chives
3-4 cloves of garlic
¼ cup white wine or rice wine vinegar

Blend all ingredients together and enjoy! This is extra yummy on pizza!

Veggie City Pesto Sauce
2 handfuls of fresh basil
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup almonds or walnuts (pine nuts are just too expensive these days!)
3-4 gloves garlic
¼ cup hard cheese like romano or parmesan
Salt and pepper to taste

Blend all ingredients together and enjoy! Great with spaghetti!

Watermelon Mint and Feta Cheese Salad
Mint is a hard herb to know what to do with, here is a summer salad recipe that is super delicious!
