Can you believe it’s already the end of April? Time has flown. I hope you’re enjoying a sunny spring weekend and getting a little time to relax.
I just returned from a few stops on The Pretty Dish book tour and had such a great time meeting readers. I’m looking forward to a short break before we hit the road again — upcoming stops include Salt Lake City, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Nashville. If you want more details, check the book tour page for dates and locations.
If you need a sweet Mother’s Day idea, there’s a lovely bundle from MacKenzie-Childs that includes The Pretty Dish. It makes a really cute gift and feels special.

Favorite things this week
This berry rhubarb lemonade has me swooning — it’s fresh, bright and perfect for spring.
Wine-braised artichokes with a cashew-mandarin-tarragon aioli sound incredible — I’m totally signing up for that.
I’ve been craving a strawberry salad with goat cheese and grilled chicken — such a simple, satisfying spring meal.
I love the idea of pink closet French doors — such a fun, crafty project if you’re into DIY.
Cheddar, mushroom and asparagus quiche is a classic combo that I’ll never say no to.
Café con tres leches cake? Yes please — rich, moist and utterly decadent.
An avocado, grapefruit and fennel salad looks absolutely gorgeous and refreshing.
Vegetarian bao buns are on my list to try — soft, pillowy and full of flavor.
Smoky blood orange margaritas feel like the perfect cocktail for warm evenings.
Pan-seared salmon burgers with garlic aioli sound like a delicious, quick dinner option.
