A Vegetarian Week in Meals | http://naturallyella.com

The produce: Summer Squash, Tomatoes, Berries, Cucumbers, Zucchini, Green Beans

The Pantry items: Brown Rice, Oats, Quinoa, Polenta, and Chickpeas

The star of the week: Hatch Chiles

Make ahead: Harissa, Spinach Pesto, and even the sweet corn soup

I'm always eager to say something or sometime is my favorite. I love the month of October, black coffee is amazing, and I'd live in the mountains if I could. I tend to keep the things I don't like to myself. However, I will share that August is probably my least favorite month. It's usually hot, my brain still associates August with going back to school/band camp, and all the fun family times are coming to an end. The one saving grace for August is the produce.

Summer produce is still in full swing while the fall produce is starting to make an appearance. It's a time when early apples are cozied up with peaches and Brussel sprouts make there debut at the market. The next two months are a great transition time for food. As with July, August is a great time to can- especially if you know frost is headed your way in a month or two!

  1. Love the focus on all the lovely produce - thanks for the inspiration!! By the way - my boyfriend and I made your summer squash bruschetta the other night and both fell in love with it 🙂

  2. Hi Erin! I'm working my way through the Whole 30, and I'm finding SO many wonderful things to make on your site - the egg and green bean skillet looks amazing! I'll have to leave off the cheese, but I'm thinking it will still be delectable. Thank you!
