My Favorite Summer Recipes

Avocado Salsa

At the time I started writing this article in mid-August, September was just approaching. We have been told schools will reopen with caution, and football may happen; however, we have certainly learned not to put the cart before the horse. Living for today, focusing on what we can control in the present moment while being cautious not to jeopardize our health seems to be a new way of life. Each year as September arrives, I cannot help feeling excited that fall is right around the corner. In my eyes, September is a transition month, marking the end of one season as we transition into another with Labor Day celebrations and hopes that relief from the summer heat is on its way. September is the perfect time to savor summer produce before we transition into fall. 

I am excited to share my favorite summer-of-2020 recipes with you. Salsas can be served with chips or as an accompaniment to grilled chicken, pork, fish, burger or steak. These salads and the veggie stack add color and flavor to any menu. The flatbread works great for an appetizer or a light dinner when paired with a salad.
