😋4/26/26: WEEKLY 🍽MEAL PLAN -

Ciao Reader!

This first week of May has a little bit of everything: Cinco de Mayo, busy weeknights, and Mother’s Day just around the corner. So I put together a plan that keeps things simple.

And if you’re planning ahead, I also created a round-up of my favorite Mother’s Day brunch recipes, the kind of dishes that feel thoughtful, beautiful, and made with amore! ♥️, Elena.

Let's start with a recipe you LOVED this week...

I’ve never been a fan of pork tenderloin because it tends to be dry & bland. I made your recipe for dinner last night & it’s was flavorful & juicy. Unbelievable! It’s an easy meal to prepare as well. Tonight I used the leftover pork to make sandwiches & they were flavor-packed! I wrote a separate review for them. Thanks for sharing this tasty recipe with us. ​MAKE THIS RECIPE​
