Hey Reader,

Every Southern table has those tried-and-true dishes — the ones that bring everyone running when they hit the table.

This week’s menu is filled with recipes just like that with country-style crock pot pork ribs, twice baked potato casserole, air fried Brussels sprouts, and an easy coconut cake for dessert.

And The Weekend Spread, to help you relax with friends and family, featuring: stuffed mushrooms, creamy white chicken chili, chickpea salad, and homemade lemonade!

On the Menu:

• Main: Country Style Pork Ribs - Better than your local BBQ joint, these ribs are coated in a rich sauce, and are fall-off-the-bone tender and juicy.

• Side: Twice-Baked Potato Casserole - Get ready to experience the ultimate comfort food with a delightful Southern twist in this easy-to-make baked potato casserole.

• Side: Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts - These Brussels are out of this world delicious — they’re ultra crispy, ridiculously easy, and surprisingly addictive.

• 🥥Dessert: Easy Coconut Cake - It’s light and fluffy with a cool, sweet coconut topping that will win your heart after just one bite, and it all starts with box mix!

The Weekend Spread:

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

• App or Snack: Stuffed Mushrooms - These little bites are loaded with a savory cheese filling, baked until they’re crispy on the top, creamy on the inside, and totally irresistible.

• Drink: Refreshing Homemade Lemonade - Made with fresh-squeezed lemon juice and simple syrup, it's cool and refreshing, with just the right amount of sweetness along with a burst of citrus!

• Lunch or Side: Chickpea Salad - The hearty goodness of chickpeas with the crispness of fresh veggies, all tossed in a tangy, zesty lemony dressing.

• Main: Creamy White Chicken Chili - This chili is smooth, flavorful, and ready in about 30 — making it perfect for a quick and filling weekend meal!
