Happy weekend!
This week on the blog I shared a jalapeño peach grilled chicken recipe, Atlantic Beach pie bars, a broccoli BLT pasta salad, and a new Summer Fridays post. Each recipe is designed for summertime cooking—bright, simple flavors and easy entertaining ideas.
I also posted my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale favorites and rounded up my top Target Circle Week picks. If you’re shopping seasonal deals, those lists make it easy to find the best items I recommend this season.
There’s a fresh weekly menu to help plan dinners and a new “A Week in the Life” post where I share how we structure meals, errands, and family time. If you’re looking for everyday recipe inspiration, both posts are full of practical ideas.
You can join the Everyday Dinners cookbook club on Facebook. If you already have a copy of the book, request to join the group to swap tips and recipe variations with fellow home cooks. If you haven’t picked up the book yet, consider getting one and then joining the community—it’s a welcoming place for meal ideas as the seasons change.
