Monthly Roundup ⭐️ The Best of March


What went on in March

Hello again Reader,

The first quarter has come and gone, and it's time for our monthly recap.

This year, I'm posting fewer new recipes, as you might've realized, as I'm slowly making my way back to Instagram (finally!) and adding videos to the recipe cards. Shooting videos is taking up a lot of time, let me tell you, but it turns out I really like it 😍

Whatever season it is where you are (these past two weeks have been extremely humid here, and it's not fun), let's recap what went on this month.
