Recipes for the week

New recipe + reader faves 🌞

Happy Snowy Sunday. Today, I have a new recipe and reader faves to share with you.

Weekend Update

Are you enjoying the snow? We didn’t get as much as I would have liked; it’s mostly just icy rain now. I was really hoping for a true snowstorm, but I think it was too warm late last week. Oh well.

Yesterday, I made homemade ravioli! I’m going to share my recipe for these basic ricotta ravioli once I make it again, but they were too good!

On Friday, I went out for an espresso martini at Sisu, and I had a nice dinner at Costiera (they have the BEST focaccia). Afterwards, I made the most amazing orange upside-down cake. The top was a layer of thinly sliced orange wedges, and the cake was a moist pistachio cake that I can’t stop thinking about. I’ll be making it again so I can share my recipe with you.

Otherwise, I don’t have too many updates, so let’s dig into some recipes to keep you cooking through this snowy weather.
