Hello, summer weekend!
This week on the blog I shared grilled chicken skewers with basil couscous, ricotta pancakes with salted blueberry butter and incredible summer stuffed shells. I also rounded up my favorite finds from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and published a new Summer Fridays post.
There’s a new weekly menu along with a peek at a week in our life.
The Everyday Dinners cookbook club on Facebook is thriving. If you have a copy of the book, request to join the group. If you don’t yet have the book, consider getting one and joining the community — we’ve just started a new spring cooking challenge and it’s a wonderful place for recipe ideas and support.
