Happy Monday. I hope everyone had a great weekend! I’m in your inbox with a few reader favorites to inspire your dinner tonight. But first, my little weekend update.

This weekend was extra busy for me because it was my husband’s birthday celebration. So, on Saturday, I had fun getting all dressed up to go out to eat with my in-laws at Sotto Sopra. It’s one of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore, and we always have a great meal there! I had the cioppino that they serve in a really nice lobster broth.

On Sunday, we saw the Orioles play (and lose) against the Rays. Then I hustled home and threw together dinner! I made my favorite crowd-pleaser, baked sun-dried tomato chicken. I served it with mushroom risotto, following the gist of my mushroom-Taleggio risotto recipe. I didn’t have Taleggio cheese this time, so I just did twice the amount of Parmesan. I also made a homemade red velvet cake, which turned out delicious but lopsided as usual…one day, I’ll get it right!

For now, I’m here to share a few reader favorites with you. I’ve gotten a lot of comments the past week which I appreciate so much. I always love to hear how recipes turn out when you make them!

This week will be a bit slower with recipes because I have to have dental surgery to remove my dumb little fibroma lump from my gum, so only soft foods for a bit. Argh!

Vegan Roasted Poblano Corn Chowder

Thank you so much for your comment, Priyanki! This vegan roasted poblano-corn chowder takes a little bit of prep, especially if you’re using fresh ears of corn, but it’s worth the work. The flavors of the smoky, roasted poblano paired with sweet summer corn and coconut milk make for an incredible soup.

Pearl Couscous with Mushrooms

Thank you, Sarah! This is one of my favorite sides that goes perfectly with plant-based protein (like Meati Classic Cutlets), your favorite meat protein, like the sun-dried tomato chicken I shared above, or with sausage links or baked chicken thighs.
