Hey Reader!

Y'all have been cooking up a storm, and the reviews are in—here are your favorite recipes in April.

If you’ve ever found yourself standing in the kitchen thinking you no idea what to make for dinner, go ahead and give these recipes a try.

April's Favorite Recipes

​Balsamic Chicken Thighs​

The marinade comes together fast, the grill does all the heavy lifting, and the honey balsamic glaze is something special!

​Caprese Pasta Salad​

Combine all the classic flavors of caprese salad—ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil leaves, olive oil and balsamic—but make it pasta.

​Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken​

This flavorful chicken is unbelievable on a sandwich, on a baked potato, wrapped in a tortilla, or turned into a cheesy dip!

​Slow Cooker Pot Roast​

This crock pot beef roast is tender, juicy, and full of flavor with simple ingredients and homemade gravy.

​Lemon Pound Cake​

A reader-favorite for a reason—you’ll be head over heels for this citrus-loaded cake made with fresh, squeezed lemon juice and zest.

​Homemade Spaghetti Sauce​

Packed with savory ground beef, ripe tomatoes, garlic, and a blend of aromatic herbs. Serve over your favorite noodles or stuffed shells!

​Southern Pineapple Casserole​

Sweet, savory, and with a buttery cracker topping, this side or dessert brings together contrasting flavors and textures.

​Brown Sugar Baked Ham​

Not just for Easter—the glaze turns sticky and golden, the mustard adds the perfect little tang, and the ham comes out juicy.

Our Latest Midweek Menu

This week we are having Hawaiian BBQ with grilled pineapple chicken, mac salad, pineapple slaw, and coconut lime rice.
