Hello weekend!
This week on the blog I shared a cozy cold-weather salmon kale salad with potatoes, plus a one-pan lemon chicken and couscous recipe. I also rounded up a collection of favorite fall soups and posted what I think is the best cheeseburger soup — all perfect for colder nights.
You can find my favorite kitchen tools and pantry picks in my Amazon store front and my LTK shop. I’ve put together a few gift guides there as well — helpful if you’re shopping for the home cook or trying to refresh your own kitchen this season.
There’s a new menu for the week and a fresh “a week in the life” post if you want a peek at our everyday routine and what’s been on our table. Both posts include practical, easy-to-follow ideas for dinners and snacks as the days get shorter and cooler.
If you own The Everyday Dinners cookbook, you can join the Everyday Dinners cookbook club on Facebook. It’s a warm, supportive community full of people sharing photos, tips, and tweaks to the recipes. If you don’t have the book yet, consider picking up a copy and then requesting to join — the group is a great place for inspiration and to swap ideas for weeknight meals.
