the round up: april in review
april recipe round up! what I made, did, & loved most this month
Welcome back to The Round Up! This week’s edition is our monthly Round Up In Review where I’ve compiled the things I’ve loved, things I’ve done, and recipes I’ve shared this month. AKA recap on a month of newsletters in one spot!
On The Round Up in April we dove into loads of different food-related weeks starting with Easter (or spring) inspired meals, then my favorite snack options (zero cooking required for these), and we rounded it out (haha) with different ways to make meatballs!! And that’s not even including the latest budget grocery series that’s been going on this week, which rounds up 5 easy dinners to make with one grocery list.
I also shared four new YouTube videos in April — have you watched yet?! If you could take a second to subscribe to my channel, that would mean the world to me 💕
I love a good recipe related round up, but curious if you guys want something a little different to break it up—skincare? dogs? grocery shopping? cleaning essentials? Leave a comment with your thoughts and I’ll work on some unique ones!
Now, let’s review April, starting with some of my favorite things from the month.
With so many new recipes this month it’s hard to choose a favorite, but I think the Sesame Ginger Pork Bowls won this time—they’re too good!! I got lots of use out my super affordable cookie scoop set (hello breakfast biscuits) and my two go-to skillets at the moment: this non-stick skillet and this stainless steel sauté pan. I loved getting to meet some of you at
