Summer’s Here Recipes

It’s now officially summer, which (hopefully!) means sun-soaked days, leisurely evenings and produce-filled meals on the patio. Fittingly, this week we’ve captured the tastes of early summer, from crisp garden greens and mixed baby summer squash, to juicy apricots to incorporate into a cinnamon-kissed galette tart. Pair these with lavender-infused lemonade and hearty multigrain bread, then sit back and enjoy the flavors of the season.

Here are some recipe ideas for the week:
