Thanks to my Farmhouse Delivery baskets, I feel a much stronger connection to the seasons through fruits and vegetables: Ooooo! The peaches are so good right now! and It's okra season again! Better start experimenting! and Hooray! Green beans!
Epicurious offers a totally handy interactive map that shows what's in season each month of the year in every state in the U.S....
... and also offers handy product descriptions and links to recipes and cooking tips. You can feel inspired AND locavore-ish.
Go play with it now!
I *really* need to join a local CSA group. Maybe next spring, when they're taking new memberships.
ReplyDeleteOh, since Blogger ate yesterday's comment, I was just offering sympathy for your monthly issues *and* letting you know that I'm starting the Whole30 on August 1! I would've started now (as they suggest), but I have a quart of local-dairy cream and a spinach-feta egg casserole in the fridge to finish first.
Only raspberries and cherries. I do have raspberries in my yard and this is supposed to be a good cherry year (Flathead Cherries). We are currently getting gobs of garlic scapes, sugar snap peas and cabbage in our CSA share.
ReplyDeleteLove the resource! And I tried something new with okra recently that I liked where I tossed the okra with unsweetened coconut and fried it all together in seasoning and coconut oil. The coconut flakes didn't really stick to each piece, but the toasty heap it made was delicious!
ReplyDeleteLydia! Awesome. August 1 it is!
ReplyDeleteHi, Danni! Sugar snap peas are my favorite snack veggie! I wish we got those here.
Blake, that sounds yummy! I'm working on a coconut curry okra recipe to share. But I'm liking your idea even more!
