Recipes for the week
New recipe + reader faves 🌞
Happy rainy Sunday. Today, I have a new recipe, reader faves, and a few from the archives to inspire your meal plans for the rest of the week.
Weekend Update
It was a busy weekend! Toward the end of the week, I made my spicy clam and tomato linguine (recipe below), and my parents visited yesterday! I’ve been a Marylander for nearly 10 years, but I’ve never had a crab feast in Maryland. The last time I cracked crabs was probably 20 years ago in Pennsylvania, and every summer that goes by, I wish I had just done one crab feast. I finally made it happen this year. We ordered Maryland steamed crabs, corn, steamed shrimp, and my dad made the best potato salad (I need to steal his recipe). Of course, we had matching shirts, “Don’t bother me, I’m crabby,” and we had a great afternoon cracking crabs.
My parents requested the Pineapple Ritz Cracker Upside-Down Cake, so I made that for dessert, and it was a perfect summer feast.
For today, I have a new recipe, reader faves, and a few from the archives. Let’s dig in.
NEW RECIPE
Spicy Clam and Tomato Linguine
A new recipe, and it already has a fan! This spicy clam and tomato linguine is perfect for nights when you want a lot of flavor without a lot of effort.
Cherry-Almond Gloop
If you’re looking to join the Gloop club, this cherry-almond variation is a great option. For a sweeter finish, use sweetened, dried cherries.
