Welcome to the weekend, my friends! I hope that wherever you are the weather has been as glorious as our weather here in Ohio this week. We’ve had warm rain and plenty of sunshine and the world around us is brilliantly green and flowering. I’m soaking up every possible moment outdoors right now.
ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Garlicky and mildly spicy, mushroom spinach pasta is a study in flavorful simplicity. Perfect al dente pasta is tossed in a light pan sauce of white wine or chicken stock, onion, garlic, mushrooms, spinach, and Parmesan cheese.
Tender, succulent Dutch oven roast pork is a comforting, homey, simple method to prepare an economical cut of pork. Whether you serve this with cheesy mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, or on buttery, fluffy dinner rolls, you’re going to love this meaty main dish.
Fresh lemon, garlic, and black pepper combine to make lemon pepper asparagus simple and simply irresistible. Make this just once and you’ll build meals around it throughout asparagus season.
Inspired by the Korean beef with rice that my family loves so much, these Korean beef noodles were a huge win from the very first bite. Loaded with umami, this one-pot dish is a guaranteed, family-friendly hit!
Bright and colorful, this flavorful Asian cabbage salad is full of freshness and crunch. You’re going to turn to this again and again during grilling season.
Chewy kitchen sink cookies are a fun surprise every time we make them. My cookies are typically made with whichever sweet or salty bits and pieces are left in the pantry from other baking adventures. They might be studded with chocolate and butterscotch chips, chopped candy bars, pretzels, nuts, potato chips, and more.
Inspired by the above cookies, this week’s ice cream is jam packed with toffee bits, cookie pieces, coconut, peanut butter cups, pecans, and more, creamy vanilla kitchen sink ice cream is bursting at the seams with deliciousness.
What I’m CRAVING: My friend Jenn’s Apple Cider Donut Cake is making my mouth water! Doesn’t it sound amazing?
My FAVORITE THING this week is my air fryer. I’ve been using it more than ever and it’s my go-to now for easy hot lunches. I’m partial to a square basket air fryer as I find it easier to fit more food into the basket. This is a 5.8QT air fryer, one of the largest machines I’ve found that works effectively.
What I’m LISTENING to: I’ve listened to Ellie Holcomb’s All of My Days every day this week. This is a small album of Psalms and it is incredible. What a gift.
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:6 ESV
Wishing you a beautiful week full of little things that make you smile!
