Happy weekend!
I launched a new Substack called Curated Cravings — it’s a bit more personal than this site, so subscribe if you want extra content and occasional sneak peeks from the book. Nothing here is changing; Curated Cravings is simply an add-on for those who want more.
Big news: I released a bonus cookbook available to anyone who preorders a copy of Easy Everyday. If you’re local to Pittsburgh, you can also RSVP for the book launch evening at Penguin Bookshop.
This week on the blog I shared a pasta chopped salad and a sticky apricot pork tenderloin. I also published a giant Easter recipe guide and a sausage, asparagus farfalle with burrata.
It’s Sephora sale time — I rounded up everything I love and recommend for the spring event.
There’s a new menu for the week and a fresh peek inside our everyday life, plus my Amazon spring favorites and my March favorites.
I’ve also updated some curated lists: my Easter favorites, kids’ Easter basket items, and spring must-haves are all available in my Amazon storefront. You can browse everything I recommend in my shop LTK as well.
You can now order a copy of my new cookbook Easy Everyday. I’d be thrilled if you ordered a copy today. Don’t forget to join the Facebook group for a fun community of readers and home cooks.
