currently crushing on

Hello hello!

This week on the blog I shared a beautiful carrot puff pastry tart, a spring spatchcock chicken with smashed potatoes, my top 12 kitchen must-haves, and an incredible pound cake with strawberry icing.

Also featured: my March favorites.

You can find a new weekly menu here, along with a peek at last week in our life.

The Everyday Dinners cookbook club is thriving. If you own a copy of the book, request to join the group. If you don’t have it yet, consider getting one — we’re starting a new spring challenge next week. It’s a warm, supportive community and an excellent source of recipe ideas and inspiration.
