BBQ Salmon Steaks
In September, here in British Columbia, not only are there tons of fresh produce 🍒🍆🍅🥒 on the supermarket shelves, but we also have an abundant supply of fish. It can be sablefish (black cod), Pacific halibut, and rockfish, also known as Pacific snapper.
The most popular one here on the West Coast is definitely salmon 🐟. Highly available, it can be sockeye, Chinook, or Coho. It’s sold as whole, fillets, portions, or steaks. It’s either fresh on ice, pre-packaged, frozen (frozen-at-sea), smoked, or cured.
David and I love 💖 our salmon. There’s his...

Summer Harvest Bowl
At the end of August, there are so many fresh produce items widely available. The shelves at the farmers’ markets 👩🌾👨🌾 are full of colorful fruits and vegetables. Also, like us, many gardeners slowly harvest their crops.
Like I do year after year, I sort them, clean 💦, and process our harvested items for either canning or recipes. I enjoy making my Panzanella Salad, Caprese Skewers, Herbes de Provence, Pickled Green Beans, Tomato Rosemary Focaccia, and so on.
Another one that has all the fresh ingredients that the end of summer has to...
