Hello, weekend!
This week on the blog I shared a grilled sourdough pizza topped with an Italian chopped salad, a smoky, crunchy summer favorite. I also posted a grilled salmon spread that’s perfect for picnics, a roundup of easy summer dinner ideas, and a new Summer Fridays post. Plus, I rounded up my top picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
I’ve also put together our back-to-school favorites, all in one place for easy shopping and planning.
There’s a new menu for the week and a fresh peek inside our everyday life if you want to see what we’ve been up to at home.
You can find all my must-have items in my Amazon storefront and in my LTK shop—both are stocked with fan favorites and things I reach for every day.
Thank you so much for making the launch of Easy Everyday so wonderful. If you haven’t picked up a copy yet, you can order it now. We’re also hosting a big giveaway on Instagram and another giveaway in our Facebook cookbook club—fun ways to celebrate together.
