Recipes for the week

Reader faves 🌞

Happy Sunday. Today I’m writing to share reader faves to inspire your cooking for the rest of the week.

Weekend Update

Last week was absolutely outrageously busy, and it occurred to me yesterday that I didn’t even send out a Wednesday newsletter! Oops! To be fair, on Wednesday, I was at the car dealership and we finally came home with our new car! After 7 years without a car, I’m really excited about the opportunity I’ll have to take short weekend trips and just expand my area of exploration.

I didn’t cook too much last week. We did pizza (twice) and then had sushi on Friday! I did make an amazing dry brined turkey breast and I used the leftovers to make a comforting turkey mushroom Swiss baked rice (recipe soon).

Today, I made a coconut cake to take to my parents. It uses my sponge cake recipe from my most recent trifle (linked below) - three layers of sponge cake! And it’s frosted in a coconut buttercream. I need to tweak the frosting but I will definitely share my recipe soon! We also tried a local matcha popup today, Equitea. I got the lavender matcha latte and it was DIVINE. I can’t wait to return and try their other flavors.

Ok, let’s dig into the recipes for the week!

READER FAVES

Cheesy Pork Cutlets

Thank you so much, Susan! These cheesy pork cutlets are a perfect midweek meal and they pair perfectly with pasta. Yum!

---

Bucatini with Anchovy Sauce

Yahoo! So happy that you loved this enough to give it 5 stars. The anchovy sauce is so simple to make but loaded with flavor. Thank you!

---

Spicy Coconut Curry Scallops

Thank you, Michael! I bet that curry broth is DELICIOUS with salmon. I’m so happy you’ve added this recipe to your regular rotation.

---

Shepherd’s Pie

Thank you for rating this recipe 5 stars, Danielle! Even though St. Patrick’s Day may be over, shepherd’s pie is forever, and when you add subtly sweet prunes to the gravy, you’ll definitely want this on regular comfort food rotation. Yum!

Pistachio Trifle

Ok, technically this is a St. Patrick’s Day trifle but doesn’t it look like a perfect spring dessert? And with glowing feedback like this comment, you definitely want to make this for your next spring soirée! This user wrote me and told me that the trifle was DEMOLISHED at a work event. I love that! We also almost demolished ours in one sitting (very proud of our restraint, it wasn’t easy ha!).

That’s about it for this week. Hope you all have a great week ahead 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! Byeeeeeeeee! 💖💖
