Squash and pumpkins make eye-catching soup tureens, adding a rustic touch to the tabletop that can’t be recreated with any store-bought ceramic bowls. You can use the squash and soup of your choice. I found that lentil soup and acorn squash pair nicely together for a hearty, warming and healthy meal that is perfect for chilly days.

Sorbet is a lower fat alternative to ice cream and makes a refreshing dessert or snack. It is very simple to make – all you need is fruit juice and a little bit of sugar. The nice thing about making it at home is that you can control the amount of sugar added.

Celebrate peach season with a special breakfast {or dessert}: peaches and cream waffles. Sweet, juicy peaches and homemade whipped cream is a match made in heaven. Enjoy these waffles while you can because you’ll have to wait until next summer to have them again.

Hand pies are individual servings of pie that transport well for picnics and lunchboxes. Because of the individual portions you can make a variety of fillings and the dough freezes well if you only want to bake a small amount at a time. They were the perfect choice for me because I only had one cup of sour cherries to work with.

Butter clams are mixed with turkey sausage and vegetables in this flavorful and colorful pasta dish. You can make it with store-bought clams but if you do have the opportunity to go clamming, you’ll enjoy your meal even more.

Given my son’s ongoing interest in all the colors of the rainbow, I decided to incorporate the rainbow into our dessert. A thin, chewy sugar cookie topped with refreshing lemon curd makes the sun and an array of summer’s fruits makes the rainbow.
