Happy weekend!
This week on the blog I shared a grilled vegetable panzanella salad, plus a bright strawberry avocado salsa. I also posted a round-up of recipes perfect for the long Memorial Day weekend and a fun take on puff pastry hot dogs with hot honey mustard.
In addition, there’s a new weekly menu to help plan meals and a fresh “week in the life” post that gives a peek into our routine and favorites right now.
The Everyday Dinners cookbook club is going strong. If you have a copy of the book, request to join the group — it’s a warm, helpful community full of recipe ideas and we’ve just kicked off a spring cooking challenge. If you don’t have the book yet, consider getting one and joining the conversation. It’s been such an encouraging place for cooks of all levels.

WHAT I’M LOVING THIS WEEK
These brown butter cupcakes are calling my name — rich, nutty, and perfect for a weekend treat.
The strawberry goat cheese salad is as beautiful as it is delicious, a lovely spring-late-summer option for lighter meals.
I’m excited about sopa de fideo right now — comforting, simple, and full of flavor.
Southern peach cobbler is a forever favorite: warm peaches, buttery crust, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream make it irresistible.
Lobster rolls are on my mind — classic, buttery, and indulgent for a special meal.
Homemade pop tarts are adorable and fun to make, especially for a nostalgic weekend baking project.
I want to try a dirty shirley cocktail next time I’m mixing drinks — a playful grown-up twist on a childhood favorite.
Furikake salmon is an easy weeknight winner: quick, savory, and full of umami.
I’m planning to try a green goddess chopped salad with crispy lentils for a crunchy, herb-forward lunch option.
Spring minestrone sounds like a perfect way to use seasonal vegetables in a bright, satisfying soup.
A no-bake banana split dessert is high on my list for warm evenings when you want something cool and nostalgic without fuss.
Frozen strawberry-blueberry daiquiris are such a fun, festive drink for summer gatherings.
I’m craving sweet and salty popcorn as the perfect snack for movie night or an afternoon pick-me-up.
