It’s finally the beginning of the most exciting time of the year! Harvest season has just begun and it is time to get creative with your garden’s bounty! There is a lot of work to be done in July, but don't forget to enjoy the deliciousness of it all.
I love planning my family’s meals around what I pick in the garden each day. Summer forces us to be extra healthy as we eat up all the delicious fruits and veggies we worked so hard from spring to now to grow.

Renee’s Garden cookbooks have delicious recipes based on each crop. I love trying new ones out with each harvest. |
