The Pretty Dish Book Club – August!

Welcome to The Pretty Dish book club for AUGUST!

Woohoo! How fantastic is it that we’ve been cooking through this book since March? I love it oh-so much. Crazy that we’re here!

You guys have been kicking butt when it comes to recipes. July was awesome. The private Facebook community continues to rock my world. Everyone is so helpful, motivating, inspirational and passionate. Some of you have cooked through more than HALF of this book already.

All I have to say is thank you thank you thank you for making this book so well loved!

Here’s a few instagram highlights from July.

My husband doesn’t know this yet, but we are starting a new Lawrence household tradition for the warm months- Salad Sunday. This peach panzanella with burrata from #theprettydish is going to figure heavily. I added tomatoes and basil to the recipe and toasted the sourdough. Perfect summertime dinner.

Lemon cupcakes with mojito frosting from @howsweeteats cookbook. It’s the first thing I’ve made after flipping through the book multiple time basically weeping with joy that everything in this book was made for me. I mean, there’s rum in this frosting. #theprettydish
