Eating Seasonally: Summer Edition

seasonal eating summer

Hi friends!

Last but not least for my seasonal eating guide… summer! Summer glorious summer. The very best of produce (in my opinion) and the most refreshing meals. I use my stove as little as possible during the summer heat. I find that cooking takes a backseat because we are out exploring and adventuring at all hours but I will share some of our summer favorites along with the foods we keep on hand.

Here is a full list of what’s in season throughout the year, if you are interested. Today is all about summer essentials. I’ll also be sharing some dried goods / pantry items that I like to have on hand to complement seasonal produce.

You can also look back at my spring, autumn, and winter staples.
