Recreating grandma's recipe is always a good thing, especially if it's your nonna's lost ravioli recipe.

Chicago Tribune
Seriously guys, the time to serve gazpacho is now. You have three weeks. Make it with shrimp, avocado, and those gorgeous yellow cherry tomatoes that are everywhere and amazing.
