Mona’s Family Favorites: Martha’s Vineyard is my happy place! Every summer my family and I enjoy lazy beach days, bike rides, game nights, purchasing island-grown fruit and veggies at the farmer’s market, and preparing delicious homemade meals on the porch. The cool, crisp texture of these brightly seasoned veggies make the ideal refreshing meal for a warm summer day.
