Summer produce is here!

We've been waiting this moment all year—so many new fruits and veggies are finally starting to come in season! Early summer makes it easy to diversify our diet and add colour to our plates. Take advantage of home-grown produce, like strawberries, cherries, cucumbers, kale, green beans, and potatoes.

These 31 breakfast, lunch, side, dinner, and dessert recipes show off everything June has to offer. From smoothie bowls to crisp salads to bright cherry hand pies, these colourful recipes are bursting with the flavours of summer.
