Can we agree that July is the best month of summer? The weather’s warm, there’s still plenty of summer left, and the produce is literally amazing. During hot summer days I crave all things fresh, flavorful and colorful.
What’s in season in July?
This month stock up on plenty of:
- Bell peppers
- Jalapeños
- Corn
- Tomatoes
- Berries
- Watermelon
- Fresh herbs
- And of course, zucchini
#AKZucchiniWeek is coming soon, so start with these delicious zucchini recipes and then be sure to add your ideas to our Facebook group!
Let’s get to the goods. I put together 31 seasonal recipes to cook for every day in July. You’ll find easy apps and snacks, plus my favorite recipes to throw on the grill that are perfect for meal prep or bringing to a BBQ. Fourth of July is right around the corner, so skip the boring veggie-and-ranch trays and put these recipes on your menu.
