No one wants to say it, nor can they imagine it on these hot August days, but summer produce is on its way out the door as farmers transition to fall crops. With summer’s end fast approaching - only 28 more days! - it's time to savor the season and take a much needed break from the heat of the kitchen. Right now, it's about celebrating simplicity and peak-season produce, basking in the last of the summer sun and enjoying the remaining long summer evenings with family and friends.

Comforting, versatile and always crowd-pleasing - this root vegetable has a pretty long shelf life in general but even longer when stored properly. The key is to store potatoes in a cool dry place, like the cabinet of a pantry, a paper bag or cardboard box. It’s important to keep potatoes at the cool, ideal temperature (but not, surprisingly, the fridge) to prevent them from turning green, getting soft spots or pre-maturely sprouting. Once this happens, it’s a sign that they’re past their peak.

Read MoreThere are few vegetables that rival the mouthwatering, rib-sticking pleasure provided by a plate of succulent meat BUT, eggplant is one of them. This hearty plant makes for a satisfying side when seared on the grill and dressed with nothing more than a drizzle of olive oil.
