10 Recipes To Try This Week | 7/31/16

¡Happy Sunday Amigos!

Oh my, what a crazy summer it has been! I’ve lost count of how many Sundays I’ve missed spending with you. There has been so much I’ve been wanting to share; about the move, about Louisa turning eight (she got her ears pierced guys—at Claire’s; where else?! I’ve been wanting to talk with you about the political scene and hear your thoughts on all this gun violence and the fear that comes in its wake. About how Hiro wanted to take his toy gun to the park and I said no because it looked too much like a real one—Mother’s are you with me? Is that where we’re at now?

What are your plans for the week? Heading out on vacation? Where to? I want to know hear all about it when you get back! We are staying put (Thank God!). I feel like I haven’t stopped moving since May. If you are looking ahead to a week at home with mouths to feed, I’ve got 10 new recipes you’ll want to make. Have a great week everyone! xoxo, Kate
