Hello and happy Saturday!
This week on the blog I shared a crunchy ramen noodle salad that’s been a hit, plus a coffee-crusted steak served with a fresh corn salsa. I also posted a honey-mustard Cajun shrimp and grits recipe and a juicy bruschetta burger that’s perfect for warmer nights.
In addition, I rounded up six playlists I’ve been loving at home lately to keep the soundtrack of your days fresh and upbeat.
New posts this week also include the regular “What to Eat This Week” meal guide and another installment of “A Week in the Life,” where I share what’s been happening around here.
P.S. Have you joined our book club yet? We’ll be discussing our April pick on May 28 — would love to have you with us.
Enjoy! xo
What I’m loving right now:
An absolutely charming ice cream bar setup—such a fun idea for entertaining.
Bananas Foster banana bread that tastes like dessert and breakfast in one bite—so good!
Coffee-glazed roasted carrots—these little carrot coins are irresistible.
Calabacitas, a comforting vegetable dish that looks fresh, flavorful, and easy to make.
General Tso’s tofu—sweet, spicy, and perfectly crispy for a vegetarian take on a classic.
Citrus-marinated grilled shrimp skewers—bright, juicy, and ideal for summer grilling.
A rustic chicken Provençal skillet with olives and tomatoes that looks comforting and elegant.
A single-layer lemon cake with lemon cream cheese frosting—light, tangy, and perfect for spring.
Broccoli beef for when you want a quick, savory stir-fry that hits all the right notes.
Easy blender pancakes for fast, fluffy weekend breakfasts with minimal fuss.
Jerk shrimp tacos for a lively, spicy dinner option that’s full of flavor.
