A "Be Ready When the Luck Happens" Menu!

Wednesday, July 16, 2025

I love that so many people have read my memoir with their book clubs!! I also love that they planned potluck dinners from my cookbooks to share during the discussion. It’s such a fun idea!

Menus are hard because you have to figure out how all the flavors, textures, and colors go together. To make it easy, here’s a menu of my recipes that travel well and can be assembled ahead. What are your favorite recipes? xxx
