Hello!
This week on the blog I shared a few recipes I’ve been loving for lunches and gatherings. One is a creamy avocado chicken salad that’s perfect for meal prep and quick lunches. I also posted a caramelized onion dip that’s unbelievably flavorful, a roundup of my favorite spring entertaining recipes, and a playful pizza supreme mac and cheese—so many delicious options to try.
There’s a new weekly menu available, along with a glimpse into a week in our life if you want behind-the-scenes posts and real-life meal planning ideas.
Also, I rounded up my April beauty favorites if you’re curious about the products I’ve been using lately.
If you haven’t preordered my newest book, Everyday Dinners, I’d love for you to check it out. Preorders include a free bonus cookbook, and the book is designed to simplify weeknight cooking with lots of recipes that come together in under 30 minutes, a 10-minute meal prep strategy to streamline each dinner, and practical tips for making weeknight meals easier and more enjoyable. If you preorder, there’s also the option to get a signed copy for a limited time.
