Midweek Meals
New recipe, reader faves 🌞
Happy Wednesday. Today, I have new recipes and reader faves to share with you.
Midweek Update
Another week is racing by faster than I can handle! I can’t believe we’re already in August. I always feel like the minute September hits, I turn around, and it’s December. I’m trying not to let summer rush by by enjoying lots of sun and trying to slow down a tiny bit.
I’ve been cooking a lot! I remade my Punjabi masala roasted chicken again with my corn salad, and I think I got pretty close to replicating that Sweet Chilifire spice blend. It’s not as good, I admit, but it has enough of that sweet, smoky, spicy flavor that it’ll be a good enough stand-in for me. It’s so delicious on fresh corn salad, and I’ll be sharing the recipe soon. I also riffed on my upside-down fig cake (recipe below) by using half figs and half raspberries for a little extra tartness. I’ll share the recipe below for my OG cake. If you want to make it with raspberries, just use 6 ounces of figs and 6 ounces of raspberries instead of 12 ounces of figs. It was absolutely divine!
For now, I have a new recipe plus a few reader faves to keep you cooking this week.
