Happy Saturday!
This week on the blog I shared a peach pistachio puff pastry tart, along with pepperoni pizza lasagna roll-ups, a peach, tomato and corn salad with crispy quinoa, and a collection of favorite back-to-school dinners. I also published a new Summer Fridays post reviewing favorites from the season.
You can find the new weekly menu and last week’s “A Week in the Life” update on the site. I also posted a highly requested roundup of newborn favorites for the third time around—lots of useful items I loved having on hand.
Everyday Dinners is available to order now. If you get a copy, consider joining the Everyday Dinners Cookbook Club on Facebook. The club has been active since my last cookbook and it’s a fun place to share photos, tips and try monthly challenges and giveaways. I’ve been loving seeing everyone’s creations on Instagram and in the cookbook club—such a great community.
Have a wonderful weekend! xoxoxo
