Hello long weekend!
This week on the blog I shared a tangy pickle slaw perfect for topping hot dogs and burgers, a festive funfetti flag cake, and a comprehensive Memorial Day recipe guide to help you plan the whole weekend.
My summer reading list is also live — a mix of page-turners and beach reads I’m excited about.
I put together several curated lists for the season: outdoor entertaining favorites, summer beauty picks, and kids’ summer essentials. These collections include things I reach for again and again when the weather warms up.
There’s a new weekly menu to make meal planning easier, and I posted a fresh “week in the life” with a behind-the-scenes look at our everyday routines.
You can find everything I love in my Amazon storefront and in my LTK shop, where I share the products and tools I use most.
Thank you so much for making the launch of Easy Everyday such a wonderful experience. If you haven’t picked up a copy yet, you can order the book. I’m also hosting a big giveaway on Instagram and another event in our Facebook cookbook club — come join the fun!

WHAT I’M LOVING THIS WEEK
I’m loving a spicy watermelon salad right now — it’s bright, refreshing, and has just the right kick.
The green goddess tomato sandwich is my go-to simple lunch: ripe tomatoes, creamy herb dressing, and good bread.
A gorgeous summer fruit salad caught my eye — colorful, juicy, and perfect for gatherings.
Chantilly cake is stunning and light; it’s the kind of dessert that feels celebratory without being fussy.
This chickpea piccata is a must-try for a flavorful, meatless weeknight option.
Fried chicken is always a favorite—crispy, comforting, and utterly satisfying.
I’m planning to make rhubarb cheesecake — tart, creamy, and seasonal.
Roasted corn salsa looks incredible for grilling season; it’s full of sweet charred corn and fresh herbs.
Easy pickled carrots are a crunchy, tangy snack idea that’s so simple to make.
Guava palomas are calling my name for a bright, tropical cocktail this summer.
I’m setting up a DIY soda bar soon for a fun, family-friendly beverage station.
Meyer lemon Dutch baby is on my weekend brunch list — light, citrusy, and impressive to serve.
Key lime pie has been on my mind lately: tangy, creamy, and nostalgic for warm-weather desserts.
