Basmati Brown Rice with Zucchini and Lavender

With weather about 100 degrees, meals that require much kitchen work are not very desirable. Simple, fast, easy and nutritious altogether on a plate is perfect for a hot day. And it's even better when garden produce is utilized. My friend and neighbor, Karleen, shared cucumbers, green peppers, and zucchini with me today, so they became the focal point of supper tonight.
