currently crushing on

Happy mid-July! Can you believe we’re already halfway through summer?

This week on the blog I shared grilled goat cheese–stuffed zucchini — it’s incredible — along with a blueberry peach coffee cake and a roundup of easy summer dinners I make when I don’t feel like cooking. There’s also a new Summer Fridays post up if you want relaxed seasonal ideas.

As always, a new weekly menu is posted, plus a glimpse at a week in our life if you want to see what we’ve been up to.

My July favorites are live, including everything I’m loving from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

You can order your copy of Everyday Dinners now. Once you have it, join the Everyday Dinners Cookbook Club on Facebook — it’s been going strong since The Pretty Dish and is so much fun. I love seeing your photos on Instagram and in the cookbook club; keep tagging and sharing your creations!

Have a wonderful week!

Across the aisle, swimsuits glare … Read more

This calls for a big pitcher of the drink up there. Right?

First, thank you for all of your kind messages yesterday — they meant a lot.

Second, I know it’s yet another apple cocktail and another take on apple cider sangria, but hear me out: you can never have too many variations. Especially when it comes to apples… and sangria.

These baked quesadillas will change your dinner routine. I’ve loved quesadillas for as long as I can remember.
