August may be coming to an end, but there’s still plenty of time to make some magical summer food.
From the veggies you can still pick up at the farmer’s market ― we’re looking at you, zucchini, eggplant and basil — to the sweet summer fruits and berries that are still hanging around, you’ve still got options before it turns into pumpkin season. And of course, the weather’s still warm enough to fire up your grill and make some barbecue (and barbecue sides) and burgers.
Here are 51 dishes to make before the summer ends. Trust us, you’re going to want to try each one.
