1. During warm months, vegetables like squash, peppers and eggplant are all in excellent supply and are great for outdoor grilling. Grilling peaches are a delicious dessert option. As weather cools back down, figs, bananas and pineapples taste great on the grill.

2 A great salad, no matter the time of year, uses in-season ingredients. In the heat of summer, add berries, peaches or nectarines to your leaf-based salad. Cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and basil are all excellent in the summer and fall. Turn to apples, figs, pears, grapes and citrus to jazz up fall salads.

3. Fresh herbs can really add flavor to any dish. For example, try chopped mint over melons, oregano in a saute or parsley sprinkled on a salad. Nuts are nutritionally dense and add texture to any salad or side.
