I can’t believe Easter weekend is already here!
On the blog this week I shared an amazing grilled asparagus Caesar salad — it’s seriously delicious — and another sneak peek from the new book with crispy smashed chili sweet potatoes. I also posted a spring-ready main: prosciutto-wrapped, asparagus-stuffed chicken served with scallion smashed potatoes, plus savory sun-dried tomato herb scones topped with caramelized sugar. All of these recipes are easy to love and perfect for the season.
I also rounded up everything I read in March, so if you’re looking for new book recommendations, check out that list.
There’s a new weekly menu post to help plan meals and a “week in the life” post that gives a behind-the-scenes look at what we were up to lately.
If you haven’t preordered my newest book, Everyday Dinners, now’s a great time. Preorders come with a free bonus cookbook, and the book is full of weeknight dinner ideas — many ready in under 30 minutes — along with a 10-minute meal prep strategy for each dish and tons of tips to make weeknights easier and more enjoyable. It would mean so much if you ordered; there’s also a limited-time option to get a signed copy if you want something special.
Have a wonderful weekend! xo
