Plums come in a myriad of colors, shapes, and varieties. The skin is a little tangy, and it’s typically a little thin. Chef Dan says, “When I say plums come in a myriad of colors, shapes, and sizes, I am not kidding. There are countless kinds of plums, and that’s without getting into the fun hybrids like pluots, plumcots, apriums, and more hybrid names."

There are two “categories” of squash: summer squash and winter squash. What is the difference? The short answer is—a winter squash is a squash that’s allowed to fully mature. The seeds fully mature and become hard, the skin becomes a lot thicker, and the flesh is dense–and these squash typically (but not always) need to be cooked before you eat them.
But summer squash are a little different. The seeds and skin are soft and fully edible. They are sometimes referred to as “soft shell squash” and as such, can be cooked or eaten raw. The entire squash is edible, versus the winter squash’s hard seeds and shell that needs to be removed.
Summer squash are also a great option for your center-of-the-plate. They are versatile and can be eaten raw (such as spiralized as noodles!) and they are fantastic grilled, or stuffed and cooked. They are also a non-starchy vegetable with few diet restrictions.
Summertime is the perfect time to feature summer squash on your menu.

Which is better, white flesh or yellow flesh stone fruit?
It all depends on what you prefer. White flesh stone fruits typically have a pale flesh and lower acid (also called sub-acid) and known for their sweetness...sometimes almost syrupy sweet...while yellow-fleshed stone fruits have a sharper acidity that balances the flavor to round things out.
Whatever your preference, add peaches to your summer menu!
