What to Cook This September


What to Cook This September

September is when summer and fall produce collide at the farmers’ market. It’s the best of both worlds, which is why this list is a long one. I propose that we make good use of all the tomatoes, corn and peaches while we still can.

Labor Day weekend is upon us, and it seems impossible that we’re celebrating our daughter’s third birthday soon! For more Labor Day recipes, check this roundup. You’ll find lots more seasonal recipes below.

Apples

Crisp Apple & Kohlrabi Salad

“I made this salad last night ahead of time, and added the toasted seeds and cheese (gruyere) at serving time. It’s so delicious! I also traded the tarragon for mint. I will use this recipe whenever I get kohlrabi in my CSA box. Thanks!” – Erin

And the roasted tomatoes were also amazing–roasting enhances their flavor. The lemony dressing is very good and compliments all of the tastes in the dish. We were mmmm-ing and wow–ing as we ate. Thanks! I know I will make this again and again.” – Julie

Overall a hit with my family.” – Lisa
