It’s the weekend — and an unofficial start to summer!
On the blog this week I shared a few favorites: a potato salad topped with crispy shallots, a red-white-and-blue sheet pan shortcake, a collection of recipes perfect for Memorial Day weekend, and my summer 2024 reading list.
There’s also a new weekly menu and a peek into a week in our life, with ideas to inspire your meals and routines as the season shifts.
If you’re part of the Everyday Dinners cookbook community, you can join our Facebook cookbook club. It’s a warm, helpful group for recipe inspiration and sharing — request to join if you already own the book, or pick up a copy to get started. It’s such a lovely community.
