Midweek Meals
New recipe + reader faves 🌞
Happy Wednesday. Today, I have a new recipe plus reader faves to inspire your meals for the rest of the week.
Midweek Update
Today, I am working on finalizing my Pineapple Ritz Cracker Upside-Down Cake. It’s for a special project I’m working on (more details, soon!), but I’m absolutely in love with it. I knew I would need to tackle the pineapple upside-down cake at some point, but I didn’t want to just recreate the traditional (and delicious!) pineapple ring variation. Instead, I created a riff on my Ritz Cracker Cake with Pineapple. It’s so delicious. It’s sweet, salty, and coconutty. And it looks absolutely stunning. I’ll be making it again today to work on the whipped coconut topping, but I’ll be so thrilled to share the recipe in Sunday’s newsletter.
On that note, I turned on Subscriptions on my Instagram. In addition to a group chat (where we can talk all things baking, cooking, and recipes), I will be sharing in-progress recipes, so subscribers can see the full behind-the-scenes of recipe development, and even give in-progress recipes a whirl as I work through them, while helping guide the direction of all my upside-down cake creations! I’ll be sharing the draft recipe of my Pineapple Ritz Cracker Upside-Down Cake today.
For now, let’s get into some recipes to inspire your meal plans for the rest of the week.
Lemon-Parmesan Asparagus
A perfectly simple spring side dish that works well with chicken, fish, or alongside pasta or risotto.
READER FAVES
Turkey Meatballs with White Beans
Thank you, Greg! So happy you gave this one a try and enjoyed the meatballs! The meatballs would be PERFECT on subs. YUM.
Stewed Harissa Beef and Rice
Thank you, Sandy! Exactly why I love this harissa beef and rice, too! It’s so comforting and tastes even better the next day (or even the day after!).
Beau Monde Braised Chicken Thighs
Thank you for the comment! Serving these Beau Monde Chicken Thighs with mashed potatoes is just perfect! Glad you enjoyed it!

A FEW MORE IDEAS
Seared Salmon with Warm Horseradish Potato Salad
This seared salmon with warm horseradish potato salad is the perfect comfort dinner recipe. A sprinkle of dill adds the perfect finish!
Vegan Radish Top Miso Ramen
Radishes are the star of the show in this vegan radish top miso ramen. An unbelievably easy recipe that will have you wanting radishes all year long.
Chicken and White Bean Chili
I find that I love chicken chili as much–if not a tiny bit more–than beef chili. I just love the creamy white beans and tender, shredded chicken.
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! 💖💖
