4 brunch recipes for the weekend
Sunday brunch is my favorite kind of cooking — nothing rushed, just good food that makes the morning feel like something worth slowing down for. Here are four recipes I'd happily make this weekend.
Ham and Cheese Croissant Bake — Torn croissants layered with ham, onions, and two kinds of cheese, baked into a creamy egg mixture that puffs up golden. This is the one you bring to a brunch crowd.
Biscuits and Gravy Casserole — Everything you love about a classic Southern breakfast, turned into one simple bake. Enough said.
Sweet Potato Bread with Brown Butter Cream Cheese Frosting — Soft, moist, and approachable enough that anyone can pull it off — that frosting alone is a reason to make it.
Air Fryer Pineapple — Canned pineapple tossed in brown sugar and cinnamon, air fried until the edges caramelize. Ready in about 20 minutes with barely any cleanup — a sweet, easy side that rounds out the whole spread.
Hope your Sunday is a good one. —Sara

Some weeks I need dinner to be fast more than anything else. These four are all done in 30 minutes or less, and they are four different proteins, so the week does not taste the same twice.

The shrimp cooks first and comes out, then the onion, garlic, grape tomatoes, and spinach go into that same skillet with a little coconut milk before the shrimp goes back in. Crispy Shake and Bake Pork Chops —...
Football season is almost here, and this is the recipe I get asked for the most every fall. Taco Dip with Cream Cheese and Sour Cream — 15 minutes and no oven. The base is just cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning, layered with lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and shredded cheese. It's the first bowl empty at every party. If you've made this dip before, would you leave a comment on the recipe with a star rating? Even one line about how you serve it helps more people find the recipe. Sara
