Hello! I hope you’re staying warm this weekend.
This week on the blog I shared some delicious, easy recipes: smoky shiitake quesadillas, sheet-pan pierogies with caramelized onions, a collection of seafood ideas for Lent, and a cozy creamy chicken and orzo soup. I also posted a new weekly menu and a peek into our week in life.
If you haven’t preordered my latest book, Everyday Dinners, please consider it. It’s full of weeknight dinner ideas—many ready in under 30 minutes—along with a 10-minute meal prep strategy for each recipe and plenty of tips to make weeknights easier and more enjoyable. A signed preorder copy is available now.

Eggplant orzo lasagna rolls look incredible and are on my must-make list.
Cacio e pepe chicken noodle soup is such a brilliant twist on a classic.
Butter beans are comfort food at its best right now.
Skillet-roasted fingerling potatoes are a simple, satisfying side.
Ultimate chocolate cookies—yes, please.
I really want to try fried plantains with a spicy dipping sauce.
Cornbread waffles served with sweet tea maple syrup sound unreal and tempting.
Gluten-free cereal sprinkle cookies are such a fun treat.
Creamy roasted garlic cauliflower and chickpea soup feels perfect for chilly days.
Have you tried the baked feta pasta trend from TikTok yet? It’s everywhere for a reason.
Hawaiian beef stew is on my list to make soon.
And this sushi bake version of a California roll completely blew my mind.
