Recipes That Use Summer Veggies and Fruits"},"content":{"rendered":"<h3>We signed up to get a box of organic veggies every week this summer from our local Community Supported Agriculture (CSA).\u00a0 The way it works is that we pay one lump sum of money at the beginning of the summer, and we get a weekly box full of produce until late October.\u00a0 Everything is fresh, organic, and beautiful.\u00a0 Sometimes the CSA website even has recipes for dishes that use the produce.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Mom loves going to her local farmers&#8217; market.\u00a0 She hops on her townie bike and cycles to the market where she buys whatever is growing at the moment.\u00a0 We took a look at our recipe archives and found five recipes that are perfect to use with summer veggies and fruits.\u00a0 Since we have made each one of them, we stand by how delicious they are.<\/h3>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"
