Recipes for the week
New recipe + reader faves + more ideas 🌞
Happy Sunday. Today, I have a new recipe, reader faves, and a few more ideas to inspire your dinner plans for the rest of the week.
Weekend Update
Not too much to report this weekend. On Friday, we went to Sisu for a happy hour drink. Normally, I love their espresso martinis, but the Tuscan sour caught my eye. It uses a Montepulciano grape, and it was a beautiful lavender color. I’m going to see if I can find either a wine or a liqueur made with that grape, so I can try to make it at home. It’s my new favorite cocktail!
We also went to Amadeo’s for an Italian dinner and then had gelato on the water! A perfect night.
Today, I have a new recipe to share, plus reader faves, and a few ideas from the archives to keep you cooking.
