Hey, friend!

Good morning, and happy Sunday! This week included spring blossoms, quick weeknight suppers, and a fun book. You can find all of the highlights from the past few days, along with each of our dinners, in today’s roundup of Our Week in Meals.

Stuck in a rut with your own dinners? Here are a few fresh ideas from the blog:​​

​Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole​

Loaded with sausage, eggs, cheese, and potatoes! Just layer everything in the slow cooker, set it, and come back hours later to a warm, cheesy breakfast that's perfect for feeding a crowd on holiday mornings or lazy weekends.

​Pineapple Upside Down Cake (with Cake Mix)​

My mom's shortcut recipe uses boxed cake mix, pineapple slices, and brown sugar to create a classic, nostalgic dessert with almost no effort!

​Southern Deviled Eggs​

Creamy, tangy, and just a little bit sweet from the pickle relish, this classic version comes together easily and never lasts long at the table.

​Dump-and-Bake Shrimp Alfredo​

With just 10 minutes of prep, this cozy comfort food practically cooks itself. Just stir the ingredients together in one dish and pop it in the oven. No boiling pasta, no sauteing shrimp, and no sink full of pots and pans!

​Sugar Snap Peas with Italian Dressing​

A fresh, healthy side dish that comes together in just 12 minutes. Blanch the peas until bright and crisp-tender, toss them with your favorite Italian dressing, and you've got a simple veggie side that the whole family will enjoy.

​Vanilla Pound Cake​

This old-fashioned pound cake has a moist, tender crumb, a crisp golden crust, and a rich vanilla flavor. Finish it with an easy homemade vanilla or caramel icing for a classic Southern dessert.

​Baked Tilapia with Lemon and Garlic​

An easy dinner recipe that's ready from start to finish in about 20 minutes! The simple lemon garlic butter sauce transforms mild, affordable tilapia fillets into a flavorful, protein-packed meal that even the pickiest eaters will enjoy.

​Pork Sirloin Roast (with 5 Minutes of Prep!)​

A sweet and savory orange marmalade glaze turns an affordable boneless pork sirloin roast into a tender, juicy dinner that's worthy of entertaining. Season with a simple herb dry rub, sear for a golden crust, and let the oven do the rest. With just 5 minutes of hands-on prep, this is one of the easiest and most impressive pork dinners you'll ever make!

​Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots​

Fresh, tender carrots tossed in a sweet, buttery brown sugar glaze with a hint of fresh orange juice. This easy stovetop side dish comes together in just 30 minutes and pairs perfectly with ham, turkey, roast chicken, or your favorite weeknight dinner.

​Pistachio Pudding Cake (with Cake Mix)​

This vintage pistachio Bundt cake starts with a box of cake mix and a packet of pistachio pudding for a moist, tender dessert with a pale green crumb and a sweet almond glaze. It comes together with about 15 minutes of prep, and it looks far more impressive than that!

​Southern Easter Side Dishes​

This collection brings together all of the classic Southern sides that belong on your Easter table. From cheesy casseroles and comforting vegetable dishes to cold salads, fresh bread, and all the nostalgic favorites in between, you'll find everything you need to plan a crowd-pleasing holiday menu!
