Tender beef pot roast cooked low and slow, served with two fresh, seasonal side dishes and a classic Southern dessert, made this week’s Midweek Menu an outstanding meal that you’ll serve time and time again!
One of the defining characteristics of Southern cooking is its use of fresh local ingredients. True Southern cooking relies heavily on local ingredients from whatever region you live in.
What Makes Cooking With Seasonal Ingredients So Special?
One of the greatest joys of cooking with fresh seasonal ingredients is the flavor and taste they bring to your homemade dishes. Seasonal produce is harvested at its peak, ensuring the best flavors and textures. The natural sweetness, tanginess, or earthiness of each ingredient can truly shine when used at the right time.
How Can I Find Fresh Produce In My Area?
You can check out local farmer’s markets (my favorite), join community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs, or grow your own produce.
This week’s menu is loaded with summer’s best produce! Each of these recipes is easy to make, perfect for a weeknight meal, and terrific for Sunday supper.
