Recipes for the week
Reader faves to inspire your meal plan 🌞
Happy Sunday. Today, I have lots of recipes to share with you to inspire your meals for the week.
Weekend Update
I can’t believe my PTO is already coming to an end. Truthfully, though, it wasn’t the best week of time off. I had to work off-and-on and we dealt with internet outages, so it seemed like a week where I was trudging through mud, unable to accomplish everything I wanted.
I did a nice Pilates flow yesterday, which is always rejuvenating! I also tried a new cafe in Baltimore called Mama Koko’s. I loved it so much I went back again! It’s so beautiful on the inside, and we also tried their sriracha chicken salad, which was delicious. Today, I took my Sunday hike, and now I’m watching an excruciating Bills game…eek!
I’m working on a chicken broth recipe and will make a basic chicken soup recipe for my site. Do you follow soups on Reddit? I’ve seen so many posts where people add a scoop of Stove Top stuffing to the soup when they eat it. People are going wild over it, so I had to buy a box of stuffing to try it out myself. I will let you know how it goes!
I also have a few recipes going to my recipe-testing program. I remade the slow cooker harissa chicken, which was outstanding. I’m really happy with this recipe and can’t wait to see how recipe testers enjoy it. I also reshot my Calabrian Chicken with Mozzarella recipe. I streamlined the recipe a bit, so I’ll have it tested again before I share the updated techniques with you all.
I also made a beautiful pumpkin tomato soup with tortellini, which I enjoyed! It’s a perfect autumnal take on tomato soup.
I can’t wait to share these new and updated recipes. I’ll have new recipes ready to be tested soon, and you can test them first by signing up below.
Recipes to inspire your meals this week
Pumpkin Cheesecake Overnight Oats
I’ve made these creamy, dreamy autumnal overnight oats many times, and I’ll make them for the rest of the season! As both recipe testers noted, they’re just perfect for fall! You can use vegan cream cheese, as I did, or dairy-based cream cheese, but they’ll be delicious no matter what.
Meatball Soup with Spinach
I received a wonderful comment on this recipe from a reader on Reddit, saying, “Thank you for the outstanding recipe! It's a keeper. Even my picky husband ate it, spinach and all!” I realized it was time to revisit the photo for this recipe, so I made it again yesterday. I tweaked the recipe very slightly to make it even easier (and just as delicious) by baking the meatballs instead of frying. Of course, frying is always an option, but I will take any opportunity not to deal with meatball splatters!

Vegan Chickpea Piccata Sauce
Thank you so much, Kai! I love the idea of serving this with sweet potato mash. While I don’t have a white sweet potato mash recipe, you could serve the vegan piccata sauce with this sweet potato purée or with pasta!
Seared Scallops with Whipped Beans
I’m so thrilled to hear this, Steven! It really combines the perfect amount of smoky, spicy, and decadent, and I’m so happy to hear this has made its way into your permanent rotation.
My Favorite London Broil Recipe
Thank you so much, Mary! This is one of my go-to methods for big cuts of lean beef, and the marinade makes it extra tasty! Leftovers are perfect for frying up quickly and stuffing into pitas or serving on sandwich rolls. Yum!
15-Minute Smoky Brothy Beans
This is one of my most popular brothy bean recipes, and I’m so excited to hear that you and your entire family enjoyed it as much as I did, Ivana! THANK YOU!
Roast Chicken with Fennel and Mashed Potatoes
Thank you, Lotte! This is one of my favorite comfort meals, and it’s perfect for a cool autumn night.
I think that’s about it for today. I hope you have an amazing week filled with lots of tasty food. If you make one of my recipes, please drop a comment to let me know how it turns out. I’d love to hear from you! Byeeeeeee! 💖💖
