Team Member Jaye shares her secrets for creating delicious summer meals for one while not heating up the kitchen.

Hard squash, leafy greens, cauliflower and fruits like apples, pears and pomegranates begin appearing in our stores and on our plates, and there are many ways to enjoy this bounty — even if you’re cooking for one person.
