Must Try Recipe with In-Season Produce

Posted on August 15, 2015 by Library Staff in Library Blog, Library Services

One of the best things about summer is the fresh produce: watermelon, mango, corn, avocado, cilantro, raspberries. Mmmmm. One of the worst things about summer is the heat. So what’s a person to do when they want to cook with in-season ingredients without heating up the house? One word: Grill. Now combine the genius of grilling with a recipe that includes in-season produce, and you’ve got a scrumptious dinner in your future.
