😋 7/5/26: WEEKLY 🍽 MEAL PLAN + A Little 🇺🇸Fourth of July from Sardegna ❤️🇮🇹...

Ciao Reader!

Being born in Sardegna and living much of my life in the United States means my heart is always in two places during holidays!

Last night we had our own little Fourth of July celebration in Sardegna. (see a photo!) I made my homemade burgers and famous burger sauce for about 20 family members, and they absolutely devoured them. It reminded me that no matter where you are in the world, good ingredients, a simple recipe, and a little amore will always bring people together around the table.

Made with Amore, ♥️ Elena. Here's what's on our menu this week if you need a little summer dinner inspiration.

Let's start with a recipe YOU LOVED this week ⬇️. Mangia!

I had some pears that were near the end of life. I looked up recipes & I chose this one. OMG.. delish! Easy, inexpensive, tasty, a real winner. Will print this one out & keep with the best of the bunch. - Ann Marie ​MAKE THIS RECIPE​
