These Recipes Are Why We Love Summer Produce
|
Good morning to you! Fresh produce is starting to be plentiful at the farmer's markets and grocery stores. Now is a great time to work some of that summer produce into your weekly meal plan. Might I suggest... 1. Easy Bruschetta SalmonA beautifully simple main course: oven-baked salmon topped with a fresh bruschetta of cherry tomatoes, garlic, shallots, basil, olive oil, and balsamic. It comes together in about 30 minutes—perfect for weeknights yet elegant enough for a dinner party. Tip: pair with grilled corn, a crisp Greek salad, or fluffy rice pilaf. 2. Cheesy Mexican Squash (Calabacitas)Celebrate zucchini, yellow squash, and fresh corn cooked skillet-style for 15 minutes, then finished with creamy cheese and a hint of jalapeño spice. Reader reviews rave: “Everyone went for seconds, even the squash haters!” Skip the jalapeño for a milder side—still cheesy, still comforting. 3. Freezer Sweet CornPreserve summer’s sweetness year-round by flash-cooking fresh corn, cooling it, and freezing in small batches. This easy prep ensures you always have sunshine in your freezer. Enjoy later in soups, salads, or simply buttered on the stovetop! See you in the kitchen,
