Ah, summer dinners. The best dinners. But the thing about summer dinners is the sun stays out so late it's hard to tell where the time went. Before you know it, you've started cooking and it's already 9pm. What happened?! I'm a lover of long days, but also a lover of efficiency so I came up with this Summer Succotash Shrimp Pasta recipe just for ...

Tarragon Mustard Green Beans
It's the height of Summer and for those of us who aren't in squeltering heat waves (sorry NYC), the backyard gatherings are on in full force.
