I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! Hubs and I had such a nice time in Montecito staying with friends—it was the perfect little reset. This weekend we’re back to hosting, and I’m so excited to welcome my cousin and her husband from New York. I’ve got some easy, crowd-pleasing meals planned that I can prep ahead so I can actually enjoy our time together. I hope this week’s dinner planner helps you do the same, whether you’re entertaining or just easing back into routine.
Here’s your dinner planner for the week:
Meatless Monday: Vegetarian “BLT” Sandwich from Cookie + Kate, Watermelon and Tomato Salad with Feta and Mint, roasted sweet potato fries
