“It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so entwined that we cannot think of one without the other.” – M.F.K. Fisher
Week 34 is a great time to enjoy the seasonal produce of late summer while transitioning to heartier fall flavors. Focus on incorporating late-season fruits and vegetables into your meals, such as apples, pears, sweet potatoes, and carrots. Try recipes like a roasted sweet potato and apple salad or a hearty vegetable stew with seasonal ingredients. This week is also ideal for making preserves or sauces from the summer’s bounty to enjoy throughout the year. Balancing the fresh, vibrant flavors of summer with the comforting tastes of fall can keep your meals diverse and nutritious.
