This collection features some of my favorite HBH June recipes shared throughout the years! Looking back through the 13+ years of archives, I was reminded of just how many summertime favorites we’ve created together. From fresh, vibrant dinners and berry-filled desserts to rich chocolate treats, homemade ice cream, and, of course, a refreshing drink or two, there’s something here for every kind of summer craving.
Happy, happy June! Summer is officially here, and honestly, the season feels especially exciting this year. Don’t get me wrong, fall will forever have my heart at the end of the day, but right now I’m fully leaning into summer and all the slower, sunnier moments that come with it.
Florida has definitely inspired me.
And like always, this is one of my favorite posts to put together each month. Looking back through past recipes always sparks new ideas and reminds me just how much I love creating seasonal recipes for you all.
Per usual, I’ve rounded up 30+ recipes to cook throughout the month, one for each day of June, plus a few extra favorites because there are simply too many good summer recipes not to share. Whether you’re planning easy weeknight dinners, weekend baking projects, backyard cookouts, or sweet treats to enjoy all season long, I hope this collection inspires plenty of delicious moments in your kitchen.
And as always, I want to hear from you all too. What’s on your summer “to make” list? What recipes would you love to see me share this season?
