Happy August! Actually wondering how it’s August already, but here we are.
You know what time it is — time to stock up on all of the delicious produce that the rest of summer has to offer and get some delicious recipes on your table.
What’s in season in August?
Peach and tomato season are in full force, and I couldn’t be more excited. OH and figs, aka the perfect ingredient to make any dish feel a little fancy. Plus #AKZucchiniWeek starts on Monday, so I’ve got you covered on sneaking zucchini into pretty much any recipe you can think of. Be sure to stock up on:
- Beets
- Bell pepper
- Blackberries
- Cherries
- Corn
- Figs
- Mushrooms
- Peaches
- Tomatoes

- Zucchini
