Hello! Welcome back.
This week on the blog I shared a few fresh and simple recipes: refreshing avocado summer rolls with peanut sauce, a comforting baked pesto bucatini, and an easy two-ingredient frozen strawberry lemonade. I also posted a new Summer Fridays roundup with seasonal ideas and links to everything I’ve been loving lately.
If you’re browsing the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I rounded up my favorites to help you shop more easily.
New planning posts are up too — a “What to Eat This Week” guide with meal ideas and a “Week in the Life” update sharing how my days are shaping up.
Wishing you a lovely weekend! xo
