Hey, Reader, it’s Erin.

And just like that, June is coming to a close.

It's been a great month, and I have a feeling that July is going to be equally fantastic. We are picking up one of our girls from sleepaway camp and spending the Fourth with family, and I know it's going to be so much fun.

Before we reach the weekend, though, I wanted to share y'all's most popular recipes for the month of June.

Do these look familiar to you? 👀

1. Homemade Chicken Nuggets Homemade nuggets without frying a single thing? I'm in. These baked chicken nuggets are crispy, flavorful and super dippable when paired with your favorite sauces. Serve by themselves, on a salad, a sandwich or wrap, too. get the recipe

2. Cheesecake Dip Tangy and sweet with no baking OR cooling time! This is a fantastic way to get a cheesecake fix without needing to actually bake one. We love this one with graham crackers, crispy pretzels and all kinds of fresh fruit! get the recipe

3. Sweet Cornbread Muffins Slightly sweet and perfectly baked, these cornbread muffins were inspired by a popular boxed mix. All you need are a handful of ingredients to mix 'em up. get the recipe

4. Homemade Pancake Mix This recipe's for the people who make homemade pancakes every weekend (because YUM) but want a little shortcut. This homemade pancake mix recipe is for you! All you need are five ingredients and five minutes to make a mix that can live in a mason jar in your pantry for months. get the recipe

5. Garlic Herb Butter Want to make the most decadent Garlic Herb Butter for Steak? All you need are 5 ingredients and 5 minutes to make this flavorful compound butter for steaks, bread and so much more. get the recipe

Wonderful choices, as always. Have you tried any of them?

I hope the rest of your week is lovely!

Happy cooking,
Erin
