stir fries, sautees and other light summer meals

i admit, i haven't been spending all that much time in the kitchen ... its summer after all, time to enjoy the great outdoors, not linger inside.  but summer is also the time to eat up all the wonderful fresh produce! my local farmers' market has been a goldmine for beautiful fruits and veggies and i've religiously gone every saturday to take in the sights, smells and tastes of seasonal offerings.  once home, i'd mostly opt for big fresh salads or quick stir-fries - to preserve the nutrients, flavour and to save some time.  among my favourites this summer have been broccolini, garlic greens, tiny summer zucchinis, beet greens, and black kale.  just chopping the veggies and sauteing, or stir-frying them with a little olive oil, lemon or white wine, provencal herbs or fresh basil was enough to make for a very fresh, very healthy and very satisfying lunch or light dinner.  just take a look at the vibrant colours and get inspired!
