Recipes for the week
Warm weather recipes 🌞
Happy Sunday. Today, I’m sharing a few of my favorite warm-weather recipes that are perfect for sunny days.
Weekend Update
This weekend has been a bit of a reset for me. I’ve been focusing on resetting my house, cleaning all those annoying hard-to-reach places, and decluttering. I think as soon as it starts to get warm out, I find myself wanting to switch up my environment.
I didn’t cook as much this weekend. We went out to a local Indian restaurant on Friday. On Saturday, we went out for pizza. Yesterday, I tried my hand at my rhubarb upside-down cake again. This time, I used pistachio as the cake base, although I over-mixed it a bit, as you can see! I loved the flavor, though. I made a blood orange caramel paired with the tart rhubarb and nutty, buttery pistachio cake.
I think I might try it again tonight with a strawberry cake base instead. Tonight, I’ll be making my chicken tortilla salad for dinner (recipe linked below).
For now, let’s get into some recipes perfect for warm weather.
