This grilled cheese is a nice departure from the traditional sandwich. It is the perfect sandwich for a delicious lunch or dinner. Serve alone or with a fresh green salad and a hearty soup, if desired. The CBD Herbes de Provence butter uses clarified butter (see page 29), which must be made at least 30 minutes before, so prepare accordingly.

Grilled plums are one of my secret obsessions. During the summer when the farm stands are brimming with these juicy jewel-toned gems, this becomes my go-to summer salad. The flat iron steak is a tender cut of beef that has a rich, beefy flavor that pairs beautifully with stone fruits.

This raw vegan chowder is perfect for the warmer months. It’s a breeze to make and easy on your digestive system. Cashew crema and sweet corn form a silky, buttery, and slightly frothy soup. Unlike standard chowders, this is light; it won’t leave you feeling like there is a lead zeppelin in your belly.
