Hi Reader,

This week’s edition of The Weekly Dish is packed with fresh flavor and simple wins — from crispy zucchini fritters to one-pan dinners that don’t skimp on taste.

I also added a few of my personal favorite kitchen tools at the bottom of the email — the kind of things that make your day go a little smoother without adding clutter (plus one non-kitchen gadget I keep right by the coffee maker!).

Here’s what’s on the menu this week:

🍽️ This Week’s Entrees

​Hot Honey Chicken​
Sticky, sweet, and a little spicy — this recipe is quick, simple, and a family favorite.
​Serve with roasted veggies or a bagged salad for an easy side.

​Sloppy Joe Cornbread Casserole​
The best of both worlds: sweet cornbread and saucy beef in one dish.
​Use store-bought mix and pre-shredded cheese to make prep lightning fast.

​Cod with Lemon Butter Sauce​
Bright, buttery, and perfect for a spring dinner.
​Serve over rice or with roasted potatoes and asparagus.

​Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps​
A takeout-style meal that comes together in under 30 minutes.
​Use Romaine hearts for maximum crunch.

​Cowboy Butter Chicken Pasta​
Savory, buttery, and loaded with flavor — like garlic bread meets pasta night.
​Great with a side of sautéed spinach or a simple garden salad.

🧁 Bonus Recipes to Try

​Crispy Zucchini Fritters​
Crispy on the outside, tender in the middle — the perfect side or snack.
​Serve with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or marinara for dipping.

​Pancake Tacos​
A fun breakfast twist your kids will talk about all week.
​Let everyone build their own for a make-your-own breakfast bar.

​Oreo Cake Mix Cookies​
Soft, gooey, and stuffed with cookies — the easiest crowd-pleaser ever.
​Press a mini Oreo into the center of each dough ball for extra flair.

​Seedless Black Raspberry Jam​
If you’ve never made homemade jam, this is your sign.
​Makes a thoughtful homemade gift, too!

​Cowboy Caviar​
Fresh, colorful, and addictive — perfect with chips or on tacos.
​Toss leftovers over grilled chicken or salad the next day.

🛍️ Kitchen Tools I Actually Use

These are a few of my go-to gadgets that live in my kitchen and get used constantly. None of them are fancy, but each one has made my life a little easier.

​🍴 Plastic Wrap Dispenser with Cutter​
No more wrestling with crinkled wrap! This cutter gives you a perfect sheet every time.

​🧅 Stainless Steel Onion & Veggie Slicer (2-Pack)​
Helps you slice evenly — whether it's onions, lemons, or tomatoes — without fumbling around with slippery veggies.

​🔥 Food Warming Mat with Temp Control​
Great for keeping dinner warm when the family is eating at different times (or when you want to bring out everything at once and not panic about it going cold).

​🌡️ Indoor/Outdoor Weather Station​
Not technically a kitchen tool, but mine lives by the coffee maker. I love knowing the outside temp and humidity before I even step outside — especially during garden season.

Let me know what you make first this week — and if you’ve got a favorite kitchen helper I should check out, hit reply and tell me about it!

Talk soon,
​Corinne
