Happy weekend!
This week on the blog I shared a cozy weeknight spinach baked gnocchi, lemon herb chicken meatballs with hummus, a collection of favorite fall salad dressings, and moist pumpkin zucchini muffins. Each recipe is simple enough for busy evenings and perfect for seasonal entertaining.
There’s a new weekly menu up along with a peek at a week in our life, where I walk through meals, snacks, and little moments that keep our days running smoothly.
The Everyday Dinners cookbook club is thriving. If you own the book, request to join the group — it’s a warm, supportive place full of recipe ideas and real-life tips. We’re wrapping up our summer cooking challenge and transitioning into fall recipes and inspiration. It’s been a wonderful community for sharing what we cook and learning from one another.
