June ... I like your recipes but where did you go ?

Where has June gone? I find it hard to believe that today is the last day of the sixth month - but it is!

I thought for this post I'd have a play on the letters that make up June, and choose a favourite food from each! So starting with:- 

J ... it's got to be jalapeño peppers



delicious in a Jalapeño Popper Chaffle, which are low carb / keto
more details here 


U … is for Upside-Down Low Carb Cake


this recipe uses fresh rhubarb and strawberries, more details here

N ... is for Nutmeg


some may think of nutmeg as the forgotten spice
it's delicious in these Mini Spinach and Cottage Cheese Frittatas
they are low carb and vegetarian, more details here

E ... is for Egg


I enjoyed poached eggs for breakfast today!
Eggs are packed with proteins, vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and various trace nutrients.
However, did you know the way you prepare your eggs can affect their nutrient profile.

Why not share your favourite choice of J U N E foods in the comments ...

Not easy to find food beginning with jam. Could only come up with jam! M was easier with nectarine.

The jalapeno recipe is a lucky fine because we're having a bumper crop of them and are putting them in everything we can. I wrote down the recipe for it. They are one of my favorite things of June too!

Jeanie said...

It flew by for me, too. Oh, eggs. I love them. So much. Well done with the U of JUNE!

I don't know if I can come up with a favorite food for each letter...but I love Jonalicious Apples. Jonagold are ok, but Jonalicious are wonderful.

U is another matter...all I can think of is Uncooked cauliflower. (Raw in other words, LOL)

N...Nectarines and nuts!

E...Enchiladas...and I do like eggs, too.

It all looks so yummy, but I'd personally go light on the jalapenos. Sounds like a good month!

Susan Kane said...

June did escape me, too. This strawberry rhubarb dessert sounds awesome. Am printing it up.

Such fun a great play on words.

Good menu. The upside down cake with the jalapeño peppers would burn one's mouth surely!

God bless.

Fun post and love egg custards sprinkled with nutmeg. I just found a recipe I want to try soon. Nutmeg is on my shopping list :) The strawberry and rhubarb dessert looks wonderful too. I remember their huge leaves from when dad used to grow them in his garden. Very often we would have a stick of rhubarb broken off, washed of course and given a bowl of sugar to dip it in. A tart-sour taste going on that I love even now. I think that recipe went back to my grandparents' day :) Yes Jan, where did June go? All the best to you and yours in July.

Yes, half of this crazy year has gone by!
Can't remember anything for June but I do love eggs.
The little frittatas look delicious and I love rhubarb, which I've seen in the supermarket, so will have to make this upside down cake. Thanks Jan

That's a good idea for JUNE...

July hasn't started very well - cold and wet.

Kay said...

These all look so delicious. I need to look into the Keto diet since my glucose levels were climbing lately.

Snowbird said...

How wonderful they all look.xxx

We use jalapeño peppers quite frequently, but sometimes they are so mild they don't merit being included in the hot pepper category. Is there any way of knowing which ones are hot?

When we lived up north my favorite food in June was strawberries because that is when they were ready to be picked but here in the mid country they are out in May.

June just flew right by! Happy July.
