Crustless Plum, Blueberry and Almond Tart

This week I really wanted to post something healthy and veg-centric, but clearly, that didn't happen. Normally when I head to the farmers market, I have a few vague recipe ideas in mind, but nothing too concrete. This week I was a little low on ideas and was just waiting to be inspired by whatever veggies looked good. But when I saw my favorite vendor's pints of blueberries lined up perfectly next to their baskets of plums, it was just too much to resist. Especially since summer fruits are quickly dwindling, I was itching to buy them while I still could.

Zucchini Potato Cheese

Yes, "zucchini potato cheese" is just a string of three separate foods. And yet, these three words mean so much more. I'm not sure what the original name for this dish was (if it ever had one at all) but in my childhood house, we just called it "zucchini potato cheese." Turns out, those are the only ingredients you need to make magic.
