This week’s dinner planner is here, and it’s a good one! Whether you’re celebrating Passover, Easter, or just looking for fresh spring meals to keep things easy and delicious, I’ve got you covered. If you need Passover inspo, be sure to check out last week’s planner—it’s packed with ideas! We celebrate both holidays in our family—this year, my daughter is hosting Passover (I’m so proud!), and my mom will be making Easter dinner. One thing’s for sure: we’re definitely making all the recipes from this year’s March 2025 online cooking class. They’re that good. Let’s dive in!
