Happy weekend!

This week on the blog I shared a fresh broccoli pesto tortellini salad, which is light, bright and perfect for warm-weather meals. I also posted a roundup of the best lettuce wrap burgers, a comprehensive Memorial Day weekend recipe guide packed with easy crowd-pleasers, and a festive red, white and berry arugula salad that’s great for summer gatherings.

I put together a collection of my outdoor entertaining favorites to help you plan al fresco meals and backyard get-togethers. I also curated lists of must-have summer beauty items and top kids’ summer picks to make the season easier and more fun for the whole family.

There’s a new weekly menu to help simplify dinners and meal planning, plus a fresh “A Week in the Life” post that gives a peek into our everyday routines and what’s been keeping us busy lately.

If you’re looking for more recommendations, you can find all my favorites in my Amazon storefront and in my LTK shop — both are full of tried-and-true items I use at home and on the go.

Thank you so much for the incredible support around the launch of Easy Everyday. The response has been amazing. If you haven’t picked up a copy yet, you can order it now. We’re also hosting a big giveaway on Instagram and another fun giveaway in our Facebook cookbook club — both are great ways to celebrate and connect.
