A Round-Up Of My Favorite Summer Garden-To-Table Recipes
It is officially summer, and for my family and me, that means alfresco dining and savoring delicious garden-to-table recipes, and enjoying the outdoors.
I love eating fresh from our garden. The fresher, the better! And so much more when the days are long, warm, and just full of life.
Making recipes from produce straight from the garden and enjoying it out on the patio is the best. For me, this is what simple country living is all about.
Here is a summary of all the summer garden-to-table recipes I love to make!
GARDEN FRESH CORN & TOMATO SIDE DISH
There’s something about fresh corn that makes it irresistible, especially in summer! I love how well it pairs with fresh tomato and some basil, and it can be served hot or cold.

I am inspired and thrilled every time I go to the garden and pull something fresh like carrots. I didn’t know you could also eat the tops for the longest time! The tops of the carrots are packed with nutrients and vitamins.
I hate to see anything go to waste, and when I learned they can be used to make pesto, I was hooked.

I love lavender for many reasons, one of them being its natural pest repellent properties. It’s also fantastic for the body and has been known to help calm and soothe. I’m pretty obsessed with the light floral essence it adds to recipes. When mixed with fresh farm blueberries, it makes the perfect combination.
