WHAT I’M LOVING THIS WEEK
Buffalo lime shrimp tacos — tangy, spicy, and fresh. A delightful twist on taco night that brightens up the table.
Sesame beef lettuce wraps — savory, crunchy, and perfect for a light dinner or appetizer when you want something quick but satisfying.
Lemon brookies — a dreamy combo of brownie and lemon bar textures. Citrus and chocolate together for a beautiful balance of sweet and bright.
Baked BBQ chicken thighs — juicy, caramelized, and incredibly simple to prepare. Great for feeding a crowd or meal-prepping for the week.
Mexican vegetable soup — hearty, colorful, and comforting. A great way to use seasonal vegetables and warm up on chilly days.
Homemade ciabatta bread — crusty on the outside, airy on the inside. Baking your own bread elevates sandwiches and soups in the best way.
Shaved Brussels sprout salad — crisp, bright, and full of texture. A great side for richer mains or a base for a light meal.
Quick microwave lemon curd — an easy, foolproof method for a bright, tart spread to top toast, scones, or yogurt.
Bang bang shrimp dip — creamy, spicy, and perfect for parties. A fun, flavor-packed appetizer your guests will request again.
Meyer lemon fettuccine — silky pasta with bright citrus notes. A simple, elegant weeknight pasta that feels special without the fuss.
Flourless almond butter chocolate chip cookies — chewy, nutty, and naturally gluten-free. A satisfying treat that’s easy to mix and bake.
Orange creamsicle cupcakes — nostalgic, light, and wonderfully fragrant. A cheerful dessert that’s perfect for spring and summer gatherings.
