Cooking for the Seasons

Its a bright sunny day...you feel like you might attempt to take the family to the beach, enjoy the day poolside with your closest friends, or plan to host a last minute summer BBQ at your place.  Do you feel like Roast Beef, Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Squash? Chances are you don't...unless you have a food obsession with Roast!

I cook for the Season. Its a great way to eat.  Not only are you adding variety to your table by utilizing whats in season, but its also a great way to support your local farmers and if your like me, with young children it is educational for the little ones. Sometimes, I learn a little myself.  

Its a little too easy these days to just cook whatever you feel like.  The grocery store produce aisle's are loaded with options.  You can get Squash anytime of year, 'Vine Ripe' tomatoes in January.  Lets start with the basics. Here is a guide that lists all the Months and available produce.  Its my go too kitchen guide and I think its a great way to challenge your palate!
