Recipes for the week
New recipe + reader faves 🌞
Happy Sunday. Today, I have a new recipe and reader faves to keep you cooking this week.
Weekend Update
Another weekend has flown by! Yesterday, my parents came to visit, and we went out for sushi. I also made my Cherry Garcia Upside-Down Cake (recipe linked below), and naturally, my dad had to star in the cake flip video. They loved the cake, and so did I! A perfect dessert to welcome spring.
On Friday, I made my Steak Fajitas (linked below), and it really hit the spot. I feel like I may be entering a fajita fixation, and that’s all I’m going to want to eat for every meal. Earlier in the week, I made my favorite “gloop” meal. I love a gloop dinner. Maybe that’s not the best way to describe it, but sometimes you just want something porridgey, gloopy, and comforting. On those nights, my Herby Bean Stew will do the trick. It’s linked below.
Today, I met a friend for coffee, and I’ll be working on my upside-down carrot cake recipe. My goal is to be able to send you the recipe on Wednesday. It’s so delicious! I’ve decided that the premise of this cake will be cinnamon caramel, carrot-cardamom jam, a spiced walnut cake with cream cheese swirl, and it’ll be finished with a few small dollops of fresh whipped cream. YUM.
For now, I have my new recipe plus a few reader faves to inspire your meals for the rest of the week.
NEW RECIPE
Herby Bean Stew
This Herby Bean Stew is perfect on nights when you don’t have the energy for anything too fussy, but still want something home-cooked and comforting.
READER FAVES
Chicken Meatball Pita
Thank you, Pete! I absolutely love this chicken meatball pita recipe, too! With cherry tomatoes and zucchini, this meal feels like early summer!
Ginger Beef Stir-Fry
Thank you, Gretchen! SO happy you enjoyed this! This ginger beef stir-fry is filled to the brim with tender beef, velvety sauce, and tons of tender-crisp veggies. It makes for a perfect weeknight dinner.
Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken
Thank you, Jess! Serving this creamy sun-dried tomato chicken over risotto is such a great idea! I’m happy you enjoyed it!
A FEW MORE IDEAS
Steak Fajitas
I made my steak fajitas with a flat iron steak, and it was absolutely incredible! A perfect recipe to add to your rotation this week. You can go as big with this meal as you want. No time for the mango salsa? Skip it. No potatoes? Serve with rice instead. As long as you have the juicy steak, the flavorful onions and peppers, and a few tortillas, you’ll be set.
Cherry Garcia Upside-Down Cake
A perfect spring cake. This Cherry Garcia Upside-Down Cake is perfect for small get-togethers or for snacking on throughout the week.
One-Pot Cod with Pearl Couscous
This one-pot cod with couscous will be your new go-to easy cod recipe. Paired with sun-dried tomatoes and Castelvetrano olives–or any green olive–this one-pot recipe is easy, quick, and delicious.
That’s all for this week! I hope everyone has a great 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! 💖💖
