In Season for September

Summer officially extends well into the month of September, however, as soon as September rolls around, we begin the transition from summer to fall. The long, warm evenings spent grilling on the patio are numbered, but there is still plenty of time to enjoy many favorite summer foods - and to look forward to fall favorites as well.

Labor Day Recipes

All across America on the first Monday of September - as a send off to the unofficial end of summer - grills will be fired up in honor of our national day of rest, Labor Day. If you have plans to entertain this Labor Day, we have recipes to impress your family and friends. From appetizers to entrees, gather together and say goodbye to summertime fun with a feast. As summer transitions into fall, why not serve foods that are coming out of their peak, along with foods that are coming into peak? Send off summer with summer melons by serving a delicious sweet and salty appetizer of Proscuitto Wrapped Melon. Or, serve the flavor of fall with Grilled Lemon Artichokes. Drizzled with a lemon-olive oil dressing, grilled, tender artichokes are easy to prepare and delicious.
