30 Seasonal Recipes to Make in August
It’s August! The month where truly everythinggggg is in season.
As the summer starts to wind down, try to enjoy all the seasonal produce on hand.
Each week I go to the farmer’s market there is more and more to choose from. It’s especially perfect timing for stone fruits like cherries, peaches, plums and apricots. And, you’ll find a ton of ripe and ready to eat vegetables like peppers, tomatoes, salad greens and summer squash.
It’s one of the best times of year to enjoy seasonal salads for dinner or grilling vegetables as a side dish. Everything is just so fresh!

Grilled Vegetables & Protein: Simply chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces and grill in a basket (season with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic). Grill your favourite protein like my chili-lime chicken thighs at the same time and serve together.
Add any protein to a big salad: Two of my favourite summer salads are my Easy Green Summer Chopped Salad and Summer Greens Salad. Make one of these recipes and add a protein for a full summer meal.
Pizza on the Grill: Grab some fresh dough from a local store and grill it to perfection with your favourite pizza toppings. Try my Zucchini & Prosciutto Pizza on the grill!
