Hey Reader,

This week we are making sheet pan honey glazed chicken and carrots with a fresh tomato cucumber salad, sour cream cornbread, and million dollar poundcake for dessert.

And The Weekend Spread, to help you relax with friends and family, featuring: pimento cheese sausage quiche for a weekend brunch, Southern grape salad, and cornbread salad to snack on, and grill up some pineapple to go with the million dollar pound cake!

On the Menu:

• Main: Sheet Pan Honey Glazed Chicken - The chicken’s juices infuse the carrots with savory goodness, while the glaze caramelizes and creates a light, sticky crust on the chicken.

• Sides: Tomato Cucumber Salad - Brimming with the bright flavor of fresh veggies tossed in a zesty herb dressing, this vibrant salad tastes like summer in every bite!

• Sides: Sour Cream Cornbread - Simple ingredients, big Southern flavor—it’s thick, golden-edged, and tender all the way through.

• Dessert: Million Dollar Pound Cake - A classic Southern pound cake that's buttery, golden, rich with vanilla and almond flavor, and deserves its name.

The Weekend Spread:

Not a menu, but some of my favorite seasonal recipes to enjoy all weekend long.

• Dessert: Grilled Pineapple - Ready in minutes, this pineapple turns out sweet, smoky, and caramelized. Serve with a slice of pound cake and scoop of ice cream.

• Side: Cornbread Salad - Crispy, savory, and so easy, this is the make-ahead potluck star that disappears every time.

• Brunch: Pimento Cheese Sausage Quiche - Sharp cheddar, savory breakfast sausage, and a silky egg custard baked in a deep dish crust.

• Quick Bite: Southern Grape Salad - Serve as a side, snack, or dessert—this salad is amazingly fresh, sweet, and creamy with an irresistible crunchy topping!
