Hello and happy Saturday!
This week on the blog I published a large roundup of favorite back-to-school dinners that I reference all year for dinner ideas. I also shared pesto risotto stuffed peppers, a southwest couscous bowl, and a new Summer Fridays post packed with easy, seasonal recipes.
There’s a fresh weekly menu available and a new “week in our life” post if you want a peek into our days and what we’re eating.
You can order a copy of Everyday Dinners now — it’s currently on a great sale. If you get a copy, consider joining the Everyday Dinners Cookbook Club on Facebook. The club has seasonal challenges, giveaways, and lots of reader-made dishes. It’s been a joyful community since The Pretty Dish launched in 2018, and I love seeing your photos on Instagram and in the cookbook club. Join in to take part in the challenges and giveaways!
