I love going produce shopping!

 

My local produce shop sells a huge variety and unique types of fruits and vegetables.

 

There is nothing like produce that is in season; you can’t compare the flavor, juiciness, and overall taste. I tend to buy and cook with in-season produce as much as possible. Therefore, my menu is always changing as the seasons are.

 

Now that spring has arrived, I can’t wait for all the delicious spring and summer produce (especially all the summer fruit, it’s my favorite!) What’s your favorite in-season produce? Let us know!
