June Menu Ideas

We’re sharing June Menu Ideas today!

June is one of those months that feels like a big transition as the littles are home for the summer, vacations are underway, and summer camps and college prep begin.

Take your time and ease into new schedules and routines whenever you can and simplify tasks where possible.

Once you catch your breath, be sure to enjoy the bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables available at your local farmstand.

Then savor every juicy bite!

Here’s a look at what we’ll be serving up in June.

June Menu Ideas and Things to Keep in Mind

June is a great month to invite a new friend to lunch, enjoy the botanical gardens, have a picnic by the lake, or attend a summer concert series.

It’s also a great time to try simple farm-to-table recipes, quick and easy snack recipes (via Food & Wine), and fruity mocktails (via Self) to make entertaining more relaxing.

Speaking of relaxing, we’re looking forward to trying these rainy-day recipes via Southern Living for those afternoon showers that always seem to set in earlier than we anticipate.

Finally, if you’re looking for even more recipes that celebrate the season, check out the ideas in this post, 27 Delicious Summer Recipes You Have to Try via The Everygirl.

As always, you can find out How to Meal Plan By The Month here, our previous monthly menu ideas here, and our ideas on how to make a DIY Dinner Decision Jar for when you don’t feel like cooking at all.

Until next time, I’ll see you on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.
