At the risk of sounding like a country song, summer, let’s do this! Long days, hot nights, 3-day weekends, and throwing everything on the grill. Summa, summa, summa time- I ❤ you.
Since Memorial Day weekend is a mere week away, I wanted to kick things off with 35+ of my favorite vegetarian recipes for summer: mains, veggie burgers, side dishes, vegetables, pasta salads, cocktails, desserts and much, much more. All for you! And me! And glorious summertime.
