What's in Season in August?

What’s in Season in August?

Hello August and welcome to month 8 of our Monthly Seasonal Produce Guides!

It’s almost unfair to offer a produce guide for August; it seems like everything’s in season right now, right?

By now, if you garden, basil has likely taken over your beds, so it a good time to start making pesto. Cucumbers also tend to grow with wild abandon. Bread and Butter Pickles anyone?

{NEW} S'mores Pie, Foil Packets with Sausage and Corn, Black Bean Burgers and MORE!

Latest recipes from Simply Recipes.
 

Hi, all! How is it August already? Wasn't summer just getting started? Well, I plan on enjoying every last second of summer while it's here -- starting with the Skillet Peach Crisp we shared last week. (Right? Right!) I've also got my sights set on the Grilled Salmon with Peach Salsa, and plan to make it for a backyard cookout I've got coming up. Yum!

And hey, anybody want to show off their cooking talent?! I just heard that Family Food Fight, hosted by Ayesha Curry, is looking for people to audition for their upcoming season. If you're interested, here's where to check that out!

S'mores Pie

by Aaron Hutcherson

Warm weather conjures images of nights spent outdoors, sitting around a campfire surrounded by friends. And with that image usually comes s’mores.

The combination of graham crackers, chocolate, and gooey marshmallows is a classic summertime treat for a reason. With this recipe, we have transformed the dessert into pie form, ideal for serving a crowd of people a summer dinner party or as part of a BBQ dessert spread.

 

Black Bean Burgers with Spicy Mayonnaise

by Sally Vargas

Once upon a time, I ran a vegetarian restaurant in a college town, and one of its signature dishes was the "Big Veg." The Big Veg was a scratch-made soy veggie burger.

As such, it was pretty good for its time, but it needed some serious updating. These days, I want something better than "pretty good."

 

Foil Packs with Sausage, Corn, Zucchini and Potatoes

by Sally Vargas

It's summertime, and the livin' should be easy! And easy it is with these make-ahead foil packs that you can throw on the grill after a long hike or a day at the beach.

 

Chicken Fried Steak

by Elise Bauer

A Southern Favorite

What evil genius came up with the idea for chicken-fried steak? Just when I’m trying to be good, eating my greens, avoiding sweets, the notion to make chicken-fried steak takes hold in my brain and doesn’t let go until the deed is done. Dear brain, what are you doing?

Chicken-fried steak, if you are unfamiliar with the dish, is a Southern favorite—tenderized beef cutlets, dipped in egg and flour and fried, much like fried chicken, but with steak.

 

Grilled Salmon with Peach Salsa

by Sabrina Modelle

This spicy and slightly sweet grilled salmon is bound to become a favorite this summer. Smoked paprika, garlic, and onion powders in the rub create a savory, smoky flavor, while a touch of sugar adds a hint of sweetness and helps the skin become unbelievably crispy.

{MEAL PLAN!} Cilantro Lime Chicken, Fish Taco Salad Bowls, Mushroom Stir Fry and more!

 
Meal Plan for August Week 1

Meal Plan for August Week 1

Please welcome Katie Workman for this month’s meal plans! Katie is a mother of two hungry boys and a meal planning wizard, so much so that it led to the creation of her blog The Mom 100 and a cookbook by the same name.

The arrival of August elicits mixed emotions in me. On the one hand, it is the beginning of the last month of summer — the moment where we all start greeting each other with phrases like, "Where did the summer go?" (Please don’t say that to me just yet.)

On the other hand, this is the month when some of the best produce of the year fills the markets. Simply prepared meals almost seem to make themselves if you let the vegetables and fruits do the talking.

THIS WEEK: Cilantro Lime Chicken, Fish Taco Salad Bowls, Mushroom Stir Fry and more!

10 Things to Know if You're a First-Time Meal Planner

 
10 Things to Know If You’re a First-Time Meal Planner

10 Things to Know If You’re a First-Time Meal Planner

So, you're ready to bite the bullet and start making real meal plans every week.

No more winging it, and no more trying to figure out how to cobble together a meal from two potatoes, a bottle of hot sauce, and a hunk of cheese (which is definitely possible, by the way).

You're fed up with those last-minute trips to the grocery store at 5 o’clock without a glimmer of dinner inspiration.

This week is going to be different. This week you will leave work on Monday and know what you'll be eating in an hour.
