Hello spring!
This week I shared my March favorites along with a few recipes I’m loving right now. Highlights include mushroom Swiss cheeseburger–stuffed potatoes, salmon and potatoes baked in parchment packets, and chocolate peanut butter breakfast cookies — all easy, flavorful dishes perfect for welcoming warmer weather.
My shopmy collection features all of my current favorites and a running wishlist, if you want to peek at what I’m using and loving these days. I also publish a Substack with exclusive recipes, life updates, and extra content — it’s a cozy place where I share more behind-the-scenes things.
I posted a new weekly menu to help plan your dinners and shared a fresh week-in-the-life post with a look at how our days are going lately. For quick access to items I recommend, you can browse my Amazon storefront and my LTK shop for more curated picks.
Thank you so much for the support on my cookbook Easy Everyday — it means the world. If you haven’t grabbed a copy yet, it’s available to order and would be a lovely addition to your kitchen library. xo
