What to Eat in Leo Season

Wondering what to eat in Leo season? With the first summer harvests beginning, the answer is practically anything. Here's 100 awesome recipes to see you through this season of the sun.

Leo is ruled by the sun, and in many parts of the world, our lives are ruled by the sun at this time of year as well. Here in Scotland, we're just hoping it will show up, but many parts of the world are dealing with dangerous heat waves.

Our ancestors would have been preparing for the start of harvest season and gathering together to celebrate Lammas or Lughnasadh under this Leo sun. This is the perfect time to celebrate the bounty of food available to us right now. Get creative, kitchen witches. It's as good as it gets.

So as you're preparing your kitchen spells, let yourself shine the joyful light of the sun on everyone who eats your food.
