Happy Wednesday. I don’t often pop into your inboxes in the middle of the week, but I’m hoping to start sharing midweek meals more often to help inspire your cooking as we get over the hump!
I do want to share one thing that I am really excited about. A TURKEY PICTURE!
I mentioned in my last newsletter that I was making a test turkey. This recipe uses a glaze I’ve often used for duck, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it turned out. Even more importantly, I feel like I finally took a good picture of the bird! For some reason, turkey photography has always eluded me, and I feel like I finally captured it in a way that I love! I’m so proud of this recipe and can’t wait to share it with you. The orange-maple glaze really takes it over the top with just the right amount of licorice undertones from the star anise. I ate leftovers last night, and the turkey was still so juicy and delicious.
Enough turkey talk. Let’s get into some midweek meal ideas for you.
MIDWEEK MEALS
Easy Creamy Chicken Orzo
This has all the good stuff: crisp, roasted chicken thighs, creamy orzo, and cherry tomatoes. It’s so delicious and comforting!
Pork Chops with Creamy Peas and Tomatoes
Can you tell I’m craving something decadent right now? Another combo with cream and tomatoes but paired with sweet peas and delicious pork chops. This recipe has been my most searched recipe this week!
Spicy Beans with Mashed Celeriac
I feel like celeriac–also called celery root–doesn’t get enough love! It has the most amazing savory flavor. I love using half potatoes and half celery root for a creamy mash with subtle celery undertones. The mash works perfectly with these spicy beans!
Easy White Chicken Chili
White chicken chili is always a good choice when the temperatures drop. I love how comforting and rich this chili is.
Beef and Cabbage Rice Soup
Adding a few teaspoons of sweet fig spread elevates this beef and cabbage soup to a new level. It’s a comforting soup with just the right amount of sweetness.
Ok, that’s all for midweek meal inspo. I hope this newsletter gives you some ideas for the rest of the week! Byeeeeeee! 💖💖
