Recipes for the week
Reader faves 🌞
Happy Sunday, and Happy Easter to everyone celebrating. Today, I have reader faves and recipes from the archives to inspire your meals for the week.
Weekend Update
This weekend, I am in Rochester, enjoying a relaxing weekend that I feel like I really needed! The last few weeks have been so busy, and I feel like I really haven't had an opportunity to just decompress. This weekend gave me a bit of time to fully relax, which felt great. I had a wonderful dinner at Cure in Rochester. Their beef tartare was amazing, and they surprised me with a mild bleu cheese that I unexpectedly loved (as a veritable bleu cheese hater). I also enjoyed the chicken confit and Cobb salad. Today, I tried a very tasty carrot cake tiramisu latte at Pearson’s. I think it was a little too sweet, but I would love it as a dessert drink instead of my morning coffee. It was such a fun concept, I had to try it!
For now, I have reader faves and a few ideas from the archives to inspire your recipes for the week.
