We’ve been here all summer, and with so many other activities cancelled, we still have been eating, largely out of either my husband’s garden or from the farmer’s market.

In the photos in this post you can get a look at the food we’ve been eating, which I hope will give you some ideas and inspiration. I also include the blog links to recipes for the perennial favorites you’ll see in the photos:
