Hey hey! Happy May!
This week on the blog I featured a roasted broccoli pimento cheese melt that is absolutely delicious. I also shared a sneak peek from my new book Everyday Dinners: a creamy burrata baked ziti. Other recent favorites include chili lime chicken tacos with pineapple salsa, a roundup of my favorite Tex‑Mex dishes and margaritas, and irresistible pimento cheese poppers—seriously the best comfort-food bites.
You can find a new weekly menu post and a peek into our daily life on the blog as well.
Have you preordered my newest book, Everyday Dinners, yet? We’re just days away from launch. I’ve been cooking sneak-peek recipes on Instagram each day leading up to release.
If you preorder, you’ll receive a free bonus cookbook with your order. Everyday Dinners is full of weeknight dinner gold: loads of recipes you can make in under 30 minutes, a 10-minute meal prep strategy for each dinner, and practical tips and ideas to make weekdays easier and more enjoyable. I can’t wait for you to have it in your kitchen.
What I’m loving this week:

A strawberry croissant breakfast casserole that sounds too good to be true.
Asparagus and prosciutto puff pastry bundles—adorable and delicious.
Hazelnut banana bread for a nutty twist on a classic.
A dramatic stuffed meatloaf that elevates a comfort-food favorite.
A sesame‑soy broccoli salad that promises the best crunch and bright flavors.
Pesto zucchini noodle bowls for a fresh, lighter meal.
A refreshing virgin margarita—exactly what I need right now.
A tres leches bundt cake that takes a beloved dessert into stunning territory.
Buckwheat waffles topped with chocolate ganache—decadent and unexpected.
Chicken bacon ranch quesadillas that are seriously craveable.
Small-batch sticky buns for when you want warm, gooey pastries without making a dozen.
