Zucchini "Braciole" with Pepperoni, Provolone, and Sage
Traditional Italian braciole (from the Italian word brace, meaning embers, over which the meat was traditionally grilled) consists of thin slices of meat rolled around a stuffing of cheese and...
Chipotle Corn Potato Salad
Cooler seasons call for bolder, more complex potato salads, such as this one with the rich flavors of chiles and sweet corn. With spicy and sweet mixed together in one bowl, it’s perfect for autumn...
Thai Duck Burger
We love duck in almost any form. We paired this ground duck from Tennessee Grass Fed Farm with the bright fresh flavors of Thailand—always welcome in summer—for an inspired burger that...
Bacon Fat Crispy Smashed Potatoes
Raising heritage pigs provides the farm at the Land delicious bacon, thus bacon fat, which results in these crispy, flavorful potatoes. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
End of Summer Baked Ratatouille
We love this baked ratatouille that utilizes all of August and September's harvest when they're abundant and cheap: bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, eggplant and basil. We got the inspiration for...
Chocolate Sour Cream Zucchini Cake with Chocolate Glaze
Grated zucchini makes this cake super moist, and of course is abundant this time of year. This recipe is excerpted from The Harvest Baker by Ken Haedrich with photography by Johnny Autry.
Bittersweet Chocolate Cheesecake
This luxurious cheesecake from Flour Your Dreams Bakery is baked in a water bath, which tempers the heat and keeps it almost mousse-like in the center.
Slow Cooker Barbacoa Tacos Party Plater
"In Mexico instead of grilling meat, we put it inside a can with a lid, cover it up with leaves from the agave plant, and let it cook all day underground. Like me, my uncle José was not a patient guy...
End of Summer Cucumber Basil Smash
Use Hendrick's or one of our local gins (HCDistillery, Corsair) to create this innovative cocktail. Consider also muddling seasonal berries for a flavorful variation.
Turkey Burgers
When the weather starts getting warmer, I get the itch to crank up the grill. These turkey burgers are easy enough for weeknight family meals and are a healthy option for neighborhood get-togethers.
Thai Watermelon Salad
While it’s easy for burgers and hot dogs to take center stage on Fourth of July, no cookout is complete without a spread of delicious sides. And this Thai Watermelon Salad from Juniper Green might...
Elote Style Corn
This recipe was served at our 2018 Summer Farm Dinner at Turnbull Creek Farm, courtesy of Chef Travis Sparks previously of Deacon's New South. It was an absolute hit and we've been craving...
Tomato Pie
"I have seen—and loved—tomato pies made with spoonfuls of mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, and Ritz crackers crumbled on top. Still, I’ d rather crackers not cover up the wrinkled, roasted beauty of...
