Tomatoes, corn and blueberries, oh my! With the last days of summer quickly approaching, what better time to take advantage of seasonal produce?
Cozymeal is partnering with Instacart to provide recommendations from Cozymeal chefs on what to fill your cart with this month. With all the long weekends and days at the beach, we expect you have not been able to get to your local farmer’s market, so leave it to a professional chef to direct you to the best produce for your cart.
For those of you simmering on the East Coast, minimize the heat in your kitchen by loading your cart with berries galore. Cherries, blueberries, and blackberries are perfect to enjoy raw for breakfast, in a berry-licious lunch salad or alongside grilled steak at dinner.

And for our friends sweltering in the amber waves of grain, the chefs of Cozymeal recommend sweet corn, zucchini, and green beans which can be mixed and matched into an endless number of refreshing salads. For the more adventuresome, a spiralizer will allow you to make zoodles in a matter of moments. The comfort of pasta without the heat of a boiling pot of water – almost as good as the cold side of the pillow!

If you are on the West Coast, watermelon and tomatoes should be enjoyed all month long! Try a watermelon “pizza” topped with feta cheese and almonds or keep it classic with an heirloom tomato gazpacho or – better yet – BLTs! Bake the bacon on a cooling rack in the oven rather than on the stove to spare yourself the intense heat and potential for grease burns.
Hungry for more? Take a Cozymeal cooking class to sharpen your knife skills, expand your recipe repertoire and bend the ear of a professional chef for a few hours.
