Sunday Supper Series — Honey Butter Cornbread with Sunday Supper Series — Honey Butter Cornbread with Creamed Corn

This is the third recipe in my Sunday Supper Series, where I’m sharing cozy recipes to help bring people back to the table on Sunday. Sit down, catch up, and just spend time together — something that feels like it’s slowly disappearing.

This cornbread is soft, slightly sweet, and more cake-like. Serve it warm with butter, and don’t be surprised if it’s the first thing gone. You can also make it your own — add jalapeños, bacon, or cheese if you want a more savory version.

Comment “recipe” to have the link sent to you.

Would you keep this sweet… or add something savory?

🌱 A Greener Bite of Sustainability
Baking a single pan of cornbread using pantry staples is a simple, low-waste way to add to a meal and feed a group.

Sunday Supper Series — Roasted Honey Carrots with Sunday Supper Series — Roasted Honey Carrots with Whipped Ricotta

This is the second recipe in my Sunday Supper Series, and it’s the kind of side dish that makes people actually want to sit down and stay a while.

The goal with this series isn’t just comfort food. It’s about getting back to the table. Slowing down, catching up, and being in the same place for more than five minutes. I feel like we’ve lost a lot of that, and honestly, I think it matters more than we realize.

Now yes, these are carrots. But not just roasted and forgotten on the side.

They’re tossed in a honey butter glaze while still hot so they soak it up, then served over whipped ricotta that makes the whole thing feel a little more put together than it probably should be. It’s simple, but it works.

Pair this with the meatloaf from the first post, and you’ve got a Sunday dinner that might actually bring people back to the table.

Are you adding this to your Sunday table?

Using simple, affordable vegetables like carrots is one of the easiest ways to cook more intentionally while still making something that feels complete..

Sunday Supper Series — Meatloaf with Ketchup Glaze Sunday Supper Series — Meatloaf with Ketchup Glaze

This is where it starts.

Sunday Supper.
A series built around comfort food, but really, it’s about getting back to the table.

There was a time when Sundays meant something. Everyone showed up, sat down, passed plates, and took a minute to just be together. Now it feels like everyone’s eating at different times, in different rooms, doing their own thing.

So this is my way of bringing that back.

We’re starting with meatloaf — the kind that’s mixed with onions and peppers, baked until just right, and finished with a tangy ketchup glaze that makes it worth going back for another slice.

It’s simple. It’s familiar. And honestly, it’s the kind of meal that makes people stay a little longer at the table.

Who would you bring to your Sunday table?

🌱 A Greener Bite of Sustainability
Using simple, accessible ingredients and cooking at home more often is one of the easiest ways to reduce waste and create more intentional meals.

Gochujang Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Pickled Vegg Gochujang Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Pickled Veggies and Kimchi Mayo

My boss — I mean, my niece — requested this one.

Her request: “spicy and juicy.”
That’s it. No notes, no follow-up questions.

So I went with gochujang for the heat, slow-cooked the pork until it was tender, and turned the cooking liquid into a glossy sauce that you can either toss with the pork or drizzle right over the top.

But the part that makes this sandwich work?
The pickled vegetables and the kimchi mayo.

The pork is rich and spicy, so you need that contrast — something bright, crisp, and slightly sweet to cut through it. The pickles do that. And the kimchi mayo brings everything together with a little extra depth and creaminess.

My niece said it’s the best pulled pork sandwich she’s ever had. I’m not arguing.

Would you pile on more pickles… or more sauce?

Save this one — it’s worth repeating.

🌱 A Greener Bite of Sustainability
Using the cooking liquid to build your sauce keeps everything in play and avoids waste, while stretching the pork with fresh vegetables creates a more balanced, thoughtful meal.
