Hi and happy June!
This week on the blog I shared a delightful savory triple melon salad that’s light, refreshing and perfect for summer. I also posted blueberry lavender scones and a roasted corn and black bean burger that so many of you have already tried and loved.
Summer Fridays are back — a series I started years ago to make summer Fridays feel extra special and bring some seasonal inspiration. It’s one of my favorite annual traditions.
You’ll also find a new weekly menu and a recent “week in our life” post, plus a roundup of everything I read in May and my recommended summer reading list.
You can order your copy of Everyday Dinners now. If you get the book, be sure to join the Everyday Dinners Cookbook Club on Facebook — it’s been going strong since The Pretty Dish came out in 2018 and it’s so fun to see everyone’s photos and adaptations. I’m loving all of the creations shared on Instagram and in the cookbook club.
Have a lovely one! xo
