☀️ 6/29/25 Weekly Meal Plan: Hello from Sardegna! 🇮🇹 + Your Summer Meal Plan & 4th of July Favorites 🎆


Ciao Reader!

Hugs from the sun-drenched shores of Sardegna! ☀️ We’re soaking up every bit of Mediterranean summer—beach days, fresh markets, and long family meals under the fig trees. I’m sending a little of that sunshine your way with this week’s meal plan—featuring recipes perfect for hot days and warm nights.

Additionally, here are some favorite 4th of July recipes that will shine at any backyard celebration 🇺🇸🎉Made with Amore, 💙Elena.

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

Mamma's Bread

"Truly a simple recipe that was very doable for someone who’s baked before but not bread because of the intimidation factor of the bread baking process. And the best part is that the texture and taste came out spectacular! My grown kids said it tastes like the freshly-baked bread they serve at an authentic Italian restaurant!" - Jennifer
