August?! How can it be August already? This means kids will be going back to school soon and summer will be winding down. The good news is summer flavors are still going strong!
Tomatoes, zucchini, watermelon, cantaloupe, eggplant, peppers, okra, fresh greens and herbs…and so much more! Enjoying meals in the summer will have you saying, “there is no way this would be as flavorful as it is RIGHT NOW!” That’s the power of fresh, local, in-season ingredients!
Several meal ideas this week are excellent examples…the Vegetarian Tikka Masala, Summer Harvest Frittata, and Parmesan Panko Tomatoes. A fantastic way to try eggplant is the Roasted Eggplant Bruschetta – absolutely delicious! Another one to savor right now is the Balsamic Watermelon Chicken Salad – fresh juicy watermelon completes the flavor in this incredible salad!
Make your own balsamic reduction for the Balsamic Watermelon Chicken Salad, and then you can double it and use the rest for the Grilled Summer Squash & Nectarines. The balsamic amps up the flavor in both of these dishes. Combine that with in-season ingredients and get ready for your taste buds to be blown away!
The Green Chile Turkey Burgers and the Herbed Tomato Cod with Capers are perfect if you have some busy weeknights in your near future. Have a great week filled with delicious summer meals!
– It’s difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato.
