What I’m Making for Dinner This Spring


Hi Reader,

Spring weather never quite makes up its mind around here, and my weeknight dinner rotation is the same way. Some nights still call for something warm and cozy, and some nights, something lighter just sounds better.

I love having recipes that work either way – and these are the ones I reach for most when springtime is doing its thing, and I just need a good dinner on the table!

I hope this gives you a few good dinner ideas for whatever spring weather where you live decides to do this week!

P.S. While I have spring cleaning on the brain, I owe you an update on my new robot vacuum. I got a Roborock after returning the (very pricey) Roomba and it is SO MUCH better. The app is 1000x easier to use, it doesn’t get stuck, it does what I ask it to. I’ve been very happy with it. I love coming out to fresh vacuum lines after being in the kitchen or my office - two productive things happening at once?! My favorite.
