| | Happy April!
I hope this email finds you well, and that you have some fun weekend plans to look forward to. It was a rough week over here in our home, as our whole family was eventually hit by the stomach bug that seems to be sweeping the country. We were basically incapacitated for the better part of the week!
Luckily, we're all feeling SO much better now. I can't wait to start experimenting in the kitchen again!
In the meantime, be sure to check out my latest air fryer tutorial, if you want to make baked potatoes with super crispy skin, and perfectly fluffy middles! | |
Note: If you have any questions for me, the best place for me to respond is directly in the comments on my website. My email system is having issues with replies lately, so if you emailed me and didn't hear back, that's why! I read comments on my website everyday, so be sure to ask again there if I missed you.
Until next time, I hope you have a great week!

If you haven't visited my website this week, here's what you might have missed.
• Air Fryer Baked Potatoes. If you don't want to heat up your whole kitchen by turning on the oven, you can cook potatoes easily in the air fryer! I'll show you my fool-proof method for making sure they perfectly cooked every time. | |
Dinner Ideas for the Week
Need some dinner inspiration? Here are some delicious ideas to help!
Sunday: Pesto Pasta Salad. This pasta salad tastes like Spring! It's tossed with an ultra-flavorful dressing, and the leftovers will make an easy packed lunch this week.
Monday: Curry Chicken Soup. I had no idea how popular this soup would become when I first shared it! It's a huge fan favorite, so be sure to try it if you haven't yet! For a vegetarian version, try swapping the chicken for sweet potatoes.
Tuesday: Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce. Be sure to make these while mango is in season! The fruity addition makes these taste like they came from a restaurant, especially when you serve them with the easy dipping sauce.
Wednesday: Vegetarian Cobb Salad. This is the type of salad that you can serve as a meal, because it's loaded with lots of filling components! I use crispy mushroom bacon to keep this version vegetarian, but feel free to make any swaps you'd like!
Thursday: Best Veggie Burgers. I love making a big batch of these to enjoy for a few days in a row! You can serve them on a bun, or as a salad topper with special sauce.
Friday: Vegan Caesar Salad. This dressing tastes remarkably like the real thing, without using anchovies. I could eat it every week!
Saturday: Day off from cooking! (Leftovers or take-out)

Breakfast Ideas
Asparagus Frittata. April is peak asparagus season! Try it in this easy baked egg dish for a weekend brunch, or as part of your meal prep routine.
Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding. When you want chocolate for breakfast, but also want to feel full for hours, this is the perfect option! Top with fresh raspberries for a sweet & tart treat.
Spirulina Smoothie. Want to sneak some algae into your life? This is my go-to recipe that makes it actually taste good!
Vegan Bread Pudding. If you want to test a new brunch recipe, try this bread pudding! It's made with an easy coconut-based caramel sauce that comes together really quickly.
Spinach Muffins. This is a favorite for kids, when you want to sneak a little green into their lives. You can't taste the spinach at all!
| | | Want every meal planned for you?
I've got you covered with the 5-Day Spring Reset. This digital guide includes shopping lists and meal prep guides to tell you EXACTLY what to prep every day, and includes seasonal recipes that are designed to eliminate food waste.
They will help you shop for and prepare only what you'll eat in a week! These recipes aren't on my website, so it's a great way to get more seasonal inspiration, too.
 | | | | Discounts Available This Week
These are the brands I use in my own home, and I've partnered with these companies to share discount codes in case you want to try them, too!
• Thermapen. This is my favorite instant-read food thermometer, which you'll see in all of my posts & videos. I used it for baked potatoes just this week! It's briefly on sale, if you want to snag it at a discount. (It makes a great gift if you have something coming up, too! It was a hit with my dad for Father's Day a couple years ago.)
• Necessaire. I love their fragrance-free products, including their body wash, deodorant, and hand cream. I give tubes of the hand cream away as holiday gifts because it is the BEST I've ever tried! Use my affiliate promo code: 10GILMORE for 10% off your purchase.
• Branch Basics. My favorite cleaning products, with a small environmental footprint. (Love the reusable bottles & refills!) I have been using these products for 5+ years now, ever since their All-Purpose Spray removed a stain from my carpet that a mainstream carpet cleaner couldn't. I also use their laundry detergent set and I've started using their new dishwasher tablets. It's all great! Use promo code detoxinista for 15% off your purchase of a Starter Kit. (This code doesn't work on individual products.)
• Risewell Toothpaste. Ever since my daughter's tooth issues popped up last year (which is what lead to her dental surgery in January) we have been taking oral health care much more seriously. These are the products I use on my teeth and my kid's teeth every single day. I love that they have a "cake batter" flavor for kids! I personally use the toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash every single night, too.
Use promo code DETOX10 for 10% off your purchase of any Risewell product that is NOT a bundle, since those are already discounted.
I hope you find something you love!
