This week on the blog I shared grilled peaches with burrata, a bright zucchini couscous salad, and a roundup of easy summer dinners I turn to when I don’t feel like cooking. I also published a new Summer Fridays post full of simple ideas to enjoy the season.
Find all my July favorites in one place, plus notes from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale as it wraps up. There’s also a fresh weekly menu to plan your meals and a peek inside a typical week in our life if you’re curious about how we get through busy days.
If you love cooking along, you can join the Everyday Dinners cookbook club on Facebook. If you already have a copy of the book, request to join the group and share your photos and tips. If you don’t have the book yet, pick one up and come join—it’s a warm, helpful community and a great place to find recipe ideas as we move toward fall.
