In Season
late July and August
It’s hot! Everything is ripe and ready! Time to eat tomatoes, corn, and cold things! I’ve gathered 10 previously published recipes that are perfect for celebrating the season.
Cheesy Stuffed Tomatoes
My first recipe for TODAY food is here! Ripe tomatoes stuffed with cheese, and grains, and topped with crispy breadcrumbs.
Tomato Water
Peak tomato season is the best time to make tomato water. Serve it with cold soba or noodles, or add it to a Bloody Mary or cocktail. Reduce and add it to stocks to intensify savory flavors
Tomato Water with Cold Soba
I love tomato water so much, I made a video for it!
Corn Chowder
Double the corn flavor by using the cobs as a base for the stock. The addition of smokey bacon (or smoked paprika for my vegetarians) against sweet peak summer corn makes this a summer favorite.
Tomato Salad
In deep summer, I eat tomatoes every day. I eat variations of this salad once or twice a week.
California Sandwich
This sandwich reminds me of home.
Grape Salad
Believe me when I say I was a skeptic of the concept of Grape Salad but sometimes an SEO recipe surprises you.
Grilled Romaine
Simply grilled romaine with breadcrumbs is smokey and crispy, a delightful addition to any summer spread.
Zucchini Boats with Sausage
Sail away on the SS Zucchini…. (I’m sorry, haha)
Halo-Halo
Filipino shaved ice filled with tropical fruit flavors, textures, and creamy ice cream, nothing beats the summer heat the way Halo-halo does.
