Happy Sunday. Today, I have reader faves plus faves from the archives to inspire your recipes for the week.
This weekend, I had a little cooking photoshoot with my friend. She was the one who gave me the idea for the Espresso Martini Upside-Down Cake (recipe below), so really this was just an excuse for us to make a fun tablescape and celebrate the existence of this really delicious cake. We also made my Buffalo chicken tenders and an amazing spicy chicken soup with ricotta (recipe soon).


All that to say, I’ve been busy, so I haven’t developed as many new recipes, but I have plenty of things in the works, so next week’s newsletter will have lots of new goodies. For now, we’ll enjoy some reader faves and a few recipes from the archives to inspire your meal plan next week. Let’s dig in.
Emmy’s Espresso Martini Upside-Down Cake
It was so much fun cooking this for my friend, who was the mastermind behind this delicious cake! If you love espresso martinis, you’ll love this coffee-flavored cake with an irresistible Khalúa-spiked mascarpone whipped cream.
Buffalo Chicken Tenders
We served the Buffalo sauce on the side when I made these, but whether you sauce the tenders or dip them, they’ll be a huge hit for anyone you serve them to. They’re my go-to game day dish, too!
