Must-try recipes before summer is gone ☀️


Hi Reader,

The last full month of summer is upon us! I can't believe how fast it's flying by.

I intend to make the most of it by consuming as much summer produce as possible (along with plenty of ice cream of course 🙂).

If you’re wondering what to make this month, I’ve got you covered in my August Seasonal Produce Guide. Inside you’ll find:

  • A list of all of the fruits, vegetables, and herbs that are in season this month
  • Expert tips for how to enjoy each variety of delicious produce
  • Recipes you can make to incorporate the flavors of August (...before they’re gone!)

There’s nothing more satisfying than enjoying in-season produce. It’s more flavorful, affordable, and nutritious. Plus, it helps support your local community and farmers!

If you aren’t sure which recipes in the guide to try first, I’ve gathered a list of favorites below. Be sure to check out the guide, and save this email so you can cook in season for the rest of the month! ☀️
