Fried Okra

Okra is one of those vegetables I never cooked before working my way through Simply in Season. But I’ve come to enjoy it. This is a super simple recipe that’s a great side dish.

Summer Garden Ratatouille

This is one of those recipes that is great for using up whatever vegetables you have from your garden or CSA and lets the taste of the vegetables come through.

Peach Salsa

Continuing with the peaches theme, this salsa is nice and sweet.

Strawberry (or Peach or Blueberry) Ice Cream (without an ice cream maker!)

Since I had peaches, I decided to try the peach version of this ice cream recipe from Simply in Season. Best of all, there is no ice cream maker needed! Read on to learn how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker.

Fruit Custard Pie

This is the second peach pie I made last weekend. How did it compare?

Yogurt Fruit Pie

This is one of those “whatever fruit you have will work” recipes from Simply in Season. Since I had a ton of peaches (as you’ll see throughout the rest of the week as I post several peach recipes) I decided to make a yogurt peach pie.

Blueberry Raspberry Jam

jam

DH doesn’t like jam, but this recipe was in Simply in Season so I had to make it. I’m glad I did! Blueberry Raspberry Jam is summer in a jar.

Slow Cooker Enchiladas

This is quite a versatile recipe; you can make it in a slow cooker, or bake it, or microwave it if you really want to. It’s a great way to sneak in more vegetables.

Southwestern Corn Chowder

soup

It feels great to be back in the kitchen! After a hiatus from Simply in Season, I’m motivated to tackle the remaining 54 recipes. This one is super fast, cheap, and tasty! Best of all, it features some of summer’s best vegetables.

Rhubarb Sorrel Crisp

I’m republishing this recipe from last year because I was recently given a large sorrel plant from my friend Holly–I see another batch of this in the near future!
