Midweek Meals
New recipe + a few ideas 🌞
Happy Wednesday. Today’s newsletter is better late than never! I have a new recipe and a few ideas to inspire your meal plans for the week.
Midweek Update
I’m really enjoying spring produce! I tried my hand at a rhubarb upside-down cake yesterday (a tasty disaster), and I can’t stop eating radish Caesar salads (recipe soon). I also made a riff on my Italian turkey meatballs last night (using chicken instead; recipe below), which were incredible! Today, I’m finally sharing my take on a mango upside-down cake. Mango has been a frequently requested fruit to showcase, so I’m happy to finally have this cake to share with you. I pair it with an outrageous salted coconut caramel.
Tomorrow, I’m going to my friend’s house, and she’s going to fire up the grill for a Korean BBQ night. I’m making cheese tteokbokki, and I’m also bringing along a black sesame cake (right side up, this time), but I’m trying to figure out what frosting to make for it. I’m torn between a toasted rice buttercream and a strawberry buttercream. Decisions, decisions!
For now, let’s get into my new recipe + a few ideas from the archives to keep you cooking this week.
NEW RECIPE
Salted Coconut Mango Upside-Down Cake
A sweet and salty coconut caramel with rich, buttery mangos makes this upside-down cake an indulgent summer dessert.
MORE IDEAS
Mushroom and Chickpea Stroganoff
This mushroom and chickpea stroganoff is a creamy, mustardy vegetarian stroganoff that is a lovely homage to the classic beef stroganoff recipe.
Rotisserie Chicken Tacos
These rotisserie chicken tacos are perfect for a weeknight taco recipe!
Beef and Spinach Orzo
A quick and comforting beef and spinach orzo makes for a perfect weeknight dinner option.
Tomato-Basil Shrimp and Zucchini
This summery tomato-basil shrimp and zucchini is a flavorful midweek meal that comes together quickly with just a few ingredients.
Italian Turkey Meatballs
I made these meatballs with ground chicken last night and they were delicious! No time for the sauce? Just use a jar of your favorite store-bought sauce. Perfect with pasta or on subs. YUM.
That’s all for Midweek Meals! I hope everyone has a great rest of the week filled with lots of tasty food. If you make one of my recipes, please drop a comment on the post to let me know how it turns out; I’d love to hear from you! You can also respond directly to this email! Byeeeeeeee! 💖💖
