Eating with the Season

9/12/2017

I like to shop at the local farmers markets so I get the freshest produce that is grown in the season. I make a meal plan according to what I find at the market.  I find it a fun experience picking out from the bins of great looking veggies, which of course makes me hungry. I start thinking what recipes that I can cook or grill. These are some of the seasonal veggies:

1. Tomatoes
2. Peppers (in lots of colors, good for grilling)
3. Eggplant (good for grilling)
4. Leeks
5. Zucchini
6. Corn 
7. String beans
8. Potatoes
9. Kale
10. Swiss chard

I like to make Ratatouille which is a french dish. It's a one pot vegetarian dish that's so delicious and it uses a lot of seasonal veggies!
