Easy meals, brunch ideas + a few things I'm eyeing on sale

Published about 1 month ago • 2 min read

Hi Reader, happy Saturday!

With Mother's Day right around the corner (hi, it's tomorrow!), I wanted to pop in with a little something for all the moms, soon-to-be moms, and anyone who loves and celebrates a mom. Whether you're hosting brunch, bringing a dish, or just treating yourself (fully valid), I've got you covered.

If you're still looking for last-minute brunch ideas, I put together a collection of my favorites on the site. Think crowd-pleasing, make-ahead friendly, and nothing too stressful the morning of.

And as always, I've got a fresh roundup of easy, feel-good meals for the week ahead, plus a couple things I've been loving lately. Let's get into it!

| BREAKFAST

​Blueberry Yogurt Muffins​

Soft, fluffy, and packed with blueberries. These come together quickly and are great for grabbing on busy mornings all week.

​Banana Baked Oatmeal Cups

Naturally sweet, perfectly portioned, and ideal for meal prep. Make a batch on Sunday and breakfast is handled.

| LUNCH

​Mediterranean Orzo Salad​

Loaded with sun-dried tomatoes, cucumber, olives, cannellini beans and feta with a simple balsamic dressing. Fresh, filling, and perfect for making ahead.

​Shrimp Salad​

Light, fresh, and comes together in minutes. A great option when you want something a little more elevated without a lot of effort.

| DINNER

​Chicken Marinade​

This marinade is a weeknight game-changer. Simple ingredients, tons of flavor, and it works on the grill or in a pan. This and this make great sides!

​Balsamic Glazed Salmon​

Sweet, tangy, and on the table in under 30 minutes. One of those dinners that feels fancy but is secretly very easy. I love pairing it with some quinoa and this side!

| SNACKS + SWEETS

​Zucchini Brownies​

Rich and fudgy with a sneaky vegetable inside. No one will ever know, and honestly they don't need to.

​4-Ingredient Almond Flour Crackers

Crispy, satisfying, and made with just four ingredients. Perfect for snacking, charcuterie boards, or dipping into hummus.

Because this is a food blogger...
