☀️ 6/15/25 Weekly Meal Plan: You’re the Best Part of This Cucina—Let’s Cook Together🍽!...


Ciao Reader!

Happy Sunday! One of the greatest joys of my week is reading your heartfelt comments on the blog. Knowing that you're cooking these recipes in your kitchens, sharing them with your loved ones, means the world to me. Whether it’s a simple weeknight pasta or a special Sunday meal, your stories remind me why I started this journey.

If you’ve recently made a recipe and haven’t left a comment or a star rating, I’d genuinely love to hear from you. Your feedback not only brings a smile to my face but also helps others feel inspired and confident to try something new. Grazie, as always, for being here. With love from my cucina to yours, 💙Elena.

✨Let’s start with a recipe that you loved this week...

Polpette Di Nonna

"Delish! Two thumbs up from my picky family. Throwing out all other meatball recipes and only using this one going forward." - Jacqueline

Make This Recipe

✨Now, let's get to your cooking inspiration for the week...


Monday: Healthy Grain Bowl

Great for lunch leftovers!

Tuesday: Oven-Baked Sausage and Potatoes

One of my favorite simple meals. It's one of the first recipes I posted on my blog.

Wednesday: Cauliflower Soup

Makes you feel good and is very satisfying at the same time!

Thursday: Roasted Chicken

This is the only roasted chicken recipe you'll ever need again!

Friday: Leftover Sandwiches

Use the leftover chicken from Thursday night to make this recipe.

Weekend: Homemade Pizza Night

You will want to start the dough 24 to 48 hours in advance. The long fermentation is so good for your gut!

💬 As always, I love hearing from you! Please leave a review on a recipe you've made!

📬 Forward this email to someone who needs recipe ideas. Sending you extra love, Elena 💙.

👩🏻‍🍳 My Top Pick This Week: I'm leaving it here for two weeks in a row because we're obsessed with this summer treat 😅.
