Happy weekend! I spent the week sharing a bunch of summer recipes and favorites on the blog. If you missed them, here are highlights and things I’m loving right now.
This week’s recipes include a tangy grilled buffalo chicken with scallion corn salad, and a grilled zucchini Caesar that’s perfect for warm evenings. I also posted a roundup of easy summer weeknight dinners I make on repeat — simple, fast, and full of flavor. It’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale season too, and I shared my favorite picks from the sale this year as well as my top Amazon Prime Day finds.
I rounded up my June favorites and everything I read in June, plus I posted a new weekly menu and a peek inside our everyday life. If you want to browse the products I use and recommend, you’ll find them in my Amazon storefront and my LTK shop.
I’m so grateful for the incredible response to my new cookbook, Easy Everyday. If you haven’t picked up a copy yet, you can order it now. There’s a big giveaway happening on Instagram and another giveaway in our Facebook cookbook club — I love seeing your photos and hearing how the recipes are fitting into your routine.
