Hello weekend!
This week on the blog I shared an autumn pasta salad with maple vinaigrette, a cheesy beef enchilada bake, my favorite fall recipes for meal prep and pumpkin scones with espresso glaze. Each recipe feels cozy and perfect for the season.
I also shared a roundup of my top Amazon favorites — the best purchases I’ve made recently. You can find all of my picks in my Amazon storefront and in my LTK shop. I’ve put together a few gift guides there as well to make holiday shopping easier.
There’s a new weekly menu on the site and a fresh “A Week in the Life” post that gives a peek into our everyday routines and what we’re cooking at home.
If you want to join a friendly community, request to join the Everyday Dinners cookbook club on Facebook. It’s a wonderful group for recipe ideas and encouragement. If you don’t have a copy of the cookbook yet, consider grabbing one and joining the conversation — the group is a great place to share tips and try new dishes together.
