Happy Saturday!
This week on the blog I shared a few favorite recipes: a brown butter scallop and champagne risotto, a quick and easy ravioli soup, a perfectly seared filet mignon with blue cheese butter, and a chewy, gooey chocolate chip skillet cookie. Each recipe is designed for simple weeknight cooking and comforting weekend meals.
There’s also a new weekly menu post and a short look into our daily life, if you want a bit of week-in-the-life content alongside the recipes.
Have you preordered my newest book, Everyday Dinners, yet? It’s full of weeknight dinner ideas, many ready in under 30 minutes, plus my 10-minute meal prep strategy for each dish and practical tips to make weeknights easier and more enjoyable. If you’re looking to simplify dinners without sacrificing flavor, this book is built for that.
