Summer Bumper Crop! Tips for Using Seasonal Produce

Peaches and nectarines also pair well with other stone fruits, like plums, apricots and cherries.

For a simple no-bake dessert this summer, halve and pit the fruit, brush cut sides with canola oil, and grill cut-side-down for 5 minutes. Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with toasted almonds, and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The mint, cilantro and jalapeno in this recipe add savory notes and heat, while grilling intensifies the peaches' sweetness. Substitute nectarines, if you prefer.

Summer Squash
Fill your basket with a variety of summer squash: zucchini, yellow squash (straight and crookneck), little yellow and white pattypan, green scallopini, and petite globe squash.

One cup has just 18 calories and a third of your daily vitamin C. Summer squash have thin skin, edible seeds, mild flavor and a delicate texture (unlike hardy winter squash), making them great additions to speedy summer meals. They're also a popular (and prolific!) addition to a home garden.
