Hi Reader,

April flew by over here. I got to spend a few days with some fellow food bloggers this month, which was so much fun!

Came home with a notebook full of new ideas, some wonderful new friends, and a lot of catching up to do.

Here are the 10 recipes you all couldn't get enough of this month:

A Few Things I’ve Been Loving Lately 🛍️

Between my trip and everyday life at home, I picked up a few things this month that have quickly become favorites.

1. This washable rug saved the day when my son spilled chocolate milk on it. A quick trip through the wash and it came back good as new.
2. I've been reaching for these lounge sets constantly and they're my new favorite comfy-but-put-together pieces.
3. Upgraded to this leakproof straw water bottle with a handle and somehow I drink way more water when I have a straw. Best leakproof straw bottle I've found.
4. These ultra-thin flat plugs fit behind furniture without sticking out. I've put them in several rooms of our house and they're a total sanity saver for anyone with awkwardly placed outlets.
5. This hanging toiletry bag has so many compartments and was perfect for my trip last week. It holds all the things.

Here's to warmer days, fresh ingredients, and something new in the kitchen this week.

Happy Cooking!
