Week 15: June Meal Planning

 

We are well into the growing season, and my CSA here in Maine has officially kicked off. With lettuce, spinach, and other greens in abundance, we can celebrate the freshness of warm weather. It is fitting that, as the temperature warms up, there are more refreshing foods that become available. Radishes are a favorite of mine to combine with a brothy soup in the morning or at lunchtime, to keep well hydrated as I pull weeds in the afternoon. It also becomes necessary to start cooking more and more outdoors. The grill is an indispensable cooking tool, that can produce several days’ worth of food and flavors for later on in the week.
