Happy weekend!
I launched a new Substack called Curated Cravings with more personal notes and behind-the-scenes content—you’re welcome to subscribe if you’d like a little extra. This is in addition to the regular content here, not a replacement, and you might even see some sneak peeks from the book.
Big news: I released a bonus cookbook available to anyone who preorders a copy of Easy Everyday. If you preordered already, the bonus should be available for you—so excited to share it.
On the blog this week I posted a few seasonal favorites: pretzel-crusted chicken with honey mustard arugula, a shaved asparagus salad with brioche croutons, and a crispy fish sandwich with chopped slaw. I also rounded up many of my favorite spring recipes to help inspire your weekly menu.
With Easter approaching, I shared some gift and entertaining ideas including my Easter favorites, kids’ Easter basket picks, and spring essentials. Since we moved last year, I also shared a collection of current home favorites that I’ve been loving around the house.
If you want to browse everything in one place, you can find selections in my Amazon storefront and my LTK shop where I keep updated lists of things I use and recommend.
There’s also a new menu for the week to make meal planning simpler, plus a new A Week in the Life post where I share a peek into our everyday routine and what we’ve been up to lately.
You can now order Easy Everyday. I’d be so grateful if you ordered today, and there’s a fun Facebook group for readers where the community gathers to share photos, tips, and excitement about the book.
