The sun is starting to shine, the beaches are getting crowded, and the BBQs are getting used. It\u2019s the start of summer and recipes, especially summer vegetarian recipes, are starting to change. More fruits are growing, vegetables are more accessible, and farmers markets are staying open longer! With the help of my favorite cooking website, Smitten Kitchen<\/a>, I\u2019ve found a range of summer vegetarian recipes to fill your plate with color:<\/p>\n

Speaking of my Dad barbequing, next of the summer vegetarian recipes is one of his favorites. Smoke-Roasted Bell Peppers Stuffed With Garden Vegetables! Yum! The bold colors of peppers put me in the summer mood. There are plenty of options when making these. Choose your favorite color pepper and your favorite vegetables. You can easily customize these summer vegetarian recipes for each person in your family. I personally like a summer vegetarian red bell pepper stuffed with zucchini, squash, tomato, and small bits of breadcrumbs! If you\u2019re planning on attending any barbeques in the near future (perhaps for July 4th) here are some recipes<\/a>, including summer vegetarian recipes that are easily transportable to a friend\u2019s BBQ table.<\/p>\n

What goes best with a BBQ meal is a fresh salad, and summer vegetarian recipes are filled with great salad ideas. From bean salads<\/a> to fruit salads<\/a> to a salad full of greens<\/a>, there is no end to summer vegetarian recipes for salads. If I had to choose one it would be the Summer Panzanella. It\u2019s based around tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and basil leaves. So good for a summer vegetarian dish. To end a perfect meal in the summertime, I wanted to share my favorite summer vegetarian recipes for desserts. Of course these summer vegetarian recipes involve fruit, which is abundant in Los Angeles<\/a> this time of year:<\/p>\n
