zucchini, but make it actually exciting 🥒✨

Hi Friends Reader I grow zucchini in my garden every year, and it’s always one of those vegetables that just keeps on giving. Once it starts coming in, I find myself looking for new ways to use it and these are some of the recipes I come back to again and again. You can bake it, sauté it, turn it into dinner, or even dessert… it really does it all. So today I’m sharing an updated version of one of my favorites! This baked zucchini casserole is the kind of dish that makes zucchini feel a little more special—simple ingredients, baked together into something comforting, flavorful, and perfect for busy weeknights.
But if you’ve got extra zucchini on hand (and somehow we always do), here are a few more ways I love using it: Pan Sautéed Zucchini and Mushrooms Air Fryer Zucchini Fries Low Carb Zucchini Lasagna Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread That’s what I love most about zucchini, it adapts to whatever you need. Something quick. Something cozy. Something sweet. It’s always a good place to start. If you have a few sitting on your counter right now, this is your sign 😉 Gratefully,

Hi Friends Reader When most people think of fruit, they think smoothies, snacks, or desserts. But growing up in Brazil, fruit showed up everywhere. They were blended into sauces, grilled alongside savory meals, tossed into fresh salads, or turned into simple desserts that somehow tasted like summer in a bowl. So today I thought it would be fun to share a few recipes that might inspire you to think a little outside the box… fruit edition 🍉🥭🍍 Fresh Mango Salsa 🥭 NEW! Fresh Mango Salsa Sweet,...
