Hello, sunshine! The month of June has arrived, and with the start of summer comes hotter weather. Here are some recipes for early summer that require less time in front of the oven or standing over the burner for lengthy periods. So take a scroll through the meal plan we've put together to keep things light and cool for the rest of the week; we've got a simple Malaysian noodle dish, a sweet and salty melon salad, an incredible grinder sandwich, and of course, BBQ chicken!

Don’t forget to save room for dessert! Indulge in fleeting rhubarb season this weekend with tart and tangy sticky buns made with rosé from Feedfeed Senior Food Editor @Lisathompson!

WEDNESDAY Grinder Sandwich
By @Cathstable

The "Grinder Salad" that goes on top of delicious meats and cheeses is so good, I've been eating it on its own. Feel free to play around with what meats and cheeses you use, but do not sleep on the bold flavors in the Grinder Salad. Grab a good quality mayo (I used Duke's) and slice your iceberg lettuce niiice and thin. It can get a little messy, but I envision myself packing up this sandwich for beach and pool days all summer long.

THURSDAY Mango Barbecue Chicken with Mango Salsa and Rice
By @Wellnesswithcourtnie

This sweet and savory rice bowl comes together quickly thanks to the addition of chicken basted in barbecue sauce, Jasmine rice, and spicy and sweet mango salsa. To enhance the salsa flavor, prepare it ahead of time.

These tart and tangy sticky buns are the perfect way to celebrate rhubarb season! Poach pieces of fresh rhubarb in rosé wine spiked with vanilla bean and red wine vinegar until perfectly tender, then arrange rhubarb in a baking dish before topping with almond cream-filled swirl buns.
