Happy Saturday! I hope your week has been a good one.
On the blog this week I shared several new posts and ideas to inspire easy weeknight meals and weekend projects. If you’re looking for ways to use up hard boiled eggs, I posted a round-up of creative ideas and recipes that make the most of them. There are also fresh dinner options like a honey mustard chicken bowl that’s simple to prepare and full of flavor, plus a selection of favorite grilling recipes to help you fire up the season. For something a little different, try the cheeseburger-stuffed sweet potatoes — a fun twist on two classics.
I also shared my picks from the spring Sephora sale, highlighting beauty favorites I’ve been reaching for. If you want to plan meals for the week, there’s a new weekly menu up that includes balanced, easy-to-follow dinners, and I posted a “week in the life” update that gives a peek into how we balance recipes, work, and family time.
If you’re cooking from The Everyday Dinners cookbook, you can join the Everyday Dinners cookbook club on Facebook. It’s a friendly community for sharing photos, tips and recipe ideas — a great place to get inspired and encourage one another as you work through the book.
