Ideas and Suggestions to Make June Beautiful

Tuesday, June 28, 2011

June Corner Closet“School’s out for summer!” The song plays in my mind loudly when June arrives. My childhood voice tells me “It’s time to play!” (Unfortunately, my adult voice reminds me that I don’t have the summer off. Darn!) It’s a busy month, with lots of trips and deadlines. I keep it all straight with the calendar I draw on the inside of my pantry door. I painted the pantry door with chalkboard paint and I use markers from ChalkInk.com. It’s always fun to make, and it lets everyone in the household see what’s on the schedule.

June ushers in:

  • Farmers Markets! Nothing better than buying just-picked produce from your local growers.
  • Fresh Okra. Make some Grilled Okrasicles!
  • Zucchini and Yellow Squash — and the blossoms from the squash plants. Try Fried Squash Blossoms!
  • Peppers in every color of the rainbow. Try the Tri-Color Peppers with Goat Cheese.Tomatoes! There is nothing better than sliced fresh tomatoes. Go gorgeous with the Stacked Tomato Salad. Or go whimsical with…
  • Tomato Tunes One of our family favorites is Tomato Addiction.
  • Tomato Tizzies. Wonderful for parties or just to snack on.
  • Watermelon radishes! Look for them at your local market.
  • Beets! Make yourself a Beet Salad with Goat Cheese.
  • Fresh Herbs! Remember the herb garden we planted in April or May? My, how it’s grown! I so love having them right outside the door.
