We’re officially in that super busy stretch before summer goes into full swing—graduations, end-of-school events, and everything in between! If you’re juggling a packed schedule, let this week’s dinner planner help take the guesswork out of mealtime. My brand-new June cooking class will be uploaded this weekend (or Monday at the latest!) and it’s a fabulous one: we’re making Greek Meatball Bowls with Lemon Rice, a Grilled Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad with Basil Dressing, a BLT-Inspired Chickpea Salad, Smoky Corn alla Diavola, and a Lemon Yogurt Tart with a Toasted Nut Crust. Also, if you’re not already reading my weekly Substack newsletter, it’s a must! I share smart kitchen tips, ingredient deep dives, thoughts on food culture and wellness, and plenty of inspiration to help you cook and live more intentionally. You can subscribe for free!
