We're full on ready for summer once June rolls around which means one thing in my eyes: tomatoes are here (or just around the corner). I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's nothing better than a fresh tomato (especially when it's home grown).
That being said, I may have went a bit overboard with the tomato recipes but I'm a bit excited (I also planted about six plants in pots that are doing well!) So that being said, here's your inspiration for June:
The produce: Summer Squash, Tomatoes, Berries, Cherries
The Pantry items: Amaranth, Brown Rice, Chickpeas, Oats, Millet, Einkorn
The star of the week: Tomatoes! (I may be jumping the gun a bit but tomatoes come into season a bit earlier here in California.
Prep for the week: Chickpea Salad for lunch, chickpeas, veg burger (freeze for later)

would omitting cheese affect the taste of your yummilicious food? I am not a big fan of cheese, neither is my kid and hubby =(

You can try for most of these- I think the only ones that you wouldn't want to try are the halloumi dish + ricotta gnocchi (since the cheese is the focus for both of those)! I also have a section full of vegan dishes that don't have any cheese: https://naturallyella.com/special-diets/vegan/

Everything looks so good, I admit I saw Monday's lunch with blue cheese and lost focus on the rest lol. I love blue cheese! With apricot and honey sounds divine!!
Cassie says

Amaranth? Never even heard of it. Where could I buy some? What kind of things could I use it for other that the porridge (which looks absolutely amzing by the way)?
