Sunday Thymes: Relaxing Weekend Recipes and Meal Ideas

The Sunday Thymes

Black raspberry jelly donut from Orwashers in NYC

  • I meant to make doughnuts for National Doughnut Day but didn’t get to it — luckily there are plenty of inspiring recipes online. These honeycomb sugar doughnuts are dreamy, and if you’re in New York City the hand‑filled jelly doughnuts at Orwashers on the Upper East Side are worth seeking out.
  • Also loving the idea of coffee doughnuts for a weekday treat.
  • One of my favorite easy summer pastas is simple, bright, and perfect for warm nights — I can’t wait to make it again.
  • I’ve never been a huge cake‑batter fan, but this cake‑batter ice cream has me reconsidering. It’s playful and indulgent.
  • If you’re craving raspberries, try a quick no‑churn raspberry ice cream — it’s a fast, intense way to enjoy the flavor, especially after a raspberry roll cake.
  • I’m excited to try a sweet‑and‑spicy grilled chicken on the barbecue soon. Bring the heat.
  • There are thoughtful reflections on turning 35 that resonated with me — good reminders about aging and perspective as milestones arrive.
  • I’ll be making a spicy Asian‑inspired salmon dish this week; it sounds flavorful and satisfying.
  • I’ve been living vicariously through beautiful travel photos from Ireland — the landscapes and scenes are so evocative.
  • Everyone could use a simple, buttery pie bar in their life right now — they’re comforting and easy to share.
  • There’s a persuasive case for cooking broccoli rabe a little longer than usual; I agree, especially when it’s tossed into a robust pasta with spicy sausage, olives, and sun‑dried tomatoes.
  • The cutest summer ice cream pop cookies are on my list — they look fun to make and surprisingly achievable for a weekend project.
  • In case you missed it, I shared a naturally gluten‑free Dutch baby this week made with rolled oats. It’s 100% whole grain and fantastic with fresh blueberries and maple syrup.
