This summer, I’m pledging to think outside of the box when menu planning. And though I’m not a vegetarian, I’ll be setting aside at least one day a week to omit the meat, like #MeatlessMonday. But whether you’re vegetarian or not, you may agree that it’s easy to fall into a rut with the same old recipes of sautéed or steamed vegetables. With farmers markets in full swing across the nation, there’s no excuse for that, and there’s no better time than now to eat fresh and seasonally. So today I rounded up nine vegetarian recipes that are healthy, seasonal and definitely not boring, all of which are inspiring me to get a little creative in the kitchen this summer. For more recipes, visit our Pinterest boards; we’re constantly adding delicious dishes to try. Cheers, Kat
