Happy Saturday!
This week on the blog I shared a few of my favorite recipes: a vibrant rainbow crunch salad, an easy baked ravioli with spinach, and a savory cacio e pepe roasted cauliflower. Each one is simple to make and full of flavor—perfect for weekend cooking or meal prep.
I also posted my January favorites, which highlight the meals, products, and moments that stood out this month.
On the planning front, there’s a new weekly menu to help streamline dinners and a fresh “week in the life” post if you enjoy behind-the-scenes glimpses of how we balance food, family, and work.
Good news: you can order your copy of Everyday Dinners now. It’s currently on a major sale, so it’s a great time to pick up extra copies as gifts. Once you have your book, consider joining the Everyday Dinners Cookbook Club on Facebook. The club has been active and welcoming since The Pretty Dish launched in 2018, and it’s been a joy to watch everyone share their creations on Instagram and in the group. The community hosts regular challenges and giveaways— a new challenge started just a few weeks ago—so it’s a fun way to stay inspired and connect over food.
Have a lovely weekend! xo
