Happy Thanksgiving weekend! I hope you’re enjoying time with family, friends, and plenty of good food.
This week on the blog I posted a delicious Thanksgiving Cobb Salad and a roundup of recipes perfect for using up leftovers. I also shared my annual holiday baking list so you can start planning cookies and treats for the season.
It’s gift-guide season, too. I’ve put together curated lists to help you shop thoughtfully for everyone on your list:
- Gift guide for babies & kids
- Gift guide for him
- Gift guide for her
- Stocking stuffers under $25
- My favorite kitchen items
- Beauty gift recommendations
You can also find a new weekly menu and a recent “week in our life” post on the site to help with meal planning and everyday inspiration.
We kicked off a new cookbook club challenge last month that runs through the end of the year, complete with prizes. The challenge centers on cooking from a single book—Everyday Dinners—so all you need is a copy to participate. I’ve loved seeing everyone’s creations in the cookbook club and on Instagram. If you enjoy cooking along with others, join the cookbook club to take part in the challenges and giveaways.
Sending love and gratitude this holiday season. xoxoxo
