Fresh Spring Salads to Brighten Your Table 🌸


Hi friends,

It’s been one of those weekends over here, running from one kid’s birthday party to the next. Mom life in full swing! I wouldn’t trade it, but I’m definitely ready to slow down a bit and share something fresh with you.

With spring here, I’ve been leaning into lighter, easy dishes that still feel satisfying. These salads are great for everything from weeknight dinners to bringing along to get-togethers when you need something reliable and crowd-friendly.

🍇 Grape Salad
🌶️ Mexican Macaroni Salad
🍎 Cabbage Apple Salad
🥗 Layered Salad

Each one has its own thing going on, but they’re all simple, familiar, and the kind of recipes people keep coming back to.

Hope you find one you want to make this week. Wishing you a relaxing Sunday and a great start to your week ahead.

Warmly,
Heidi (aka Lulu)💛

Dr Pepper Cake.

Hi there, May is officially here, and it already feels like the calendar is filling up fast. I went to my cousin’s wedding last night and it was absolutely beautiful. Dr pepper Cake Since this time of year can get a little busy, I pulled together a few desserts that start with a box mix but turn into something that tastes completely homemade. These are the recipes I make when I don't have much time, but still want to make something at home. 🍪 Butterscotch Chip Chocolate Cookies🍓 Strawberry...
