Happy weekend!
This week on the blog I shared a delicious grilled shrimp orzo salad, plus blackberry chip overnight oats. I also posted a collection of summer weeknight dinners I make on repeat and a new Summer Fridays roundup. If you missed any of those, they’re all up and full of easy, flavorful ideas to enjoy the season.
I rounded up my favorite picks from the 2024 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and put together a big back-to-school shopping list for anyone prepping for the new year. There’s also a fresh weekly menu and a peek at a week in our life if you’re looking for everyday inspiration and simple routines.
If you love cooking along with others, join the Everyday Dinners cookbook club on Facebook. If you have a copy of the book, request to join the group — it’s a warm, creative community and a great place to find new recipes and share what you’re making. If you don’t have the book yet, it’s a lovely option to pick up and get started. The group is already a wonderful resource as we head into fall recipe planning.
