I couldn’t help but wonder if dessert is really just an excuse to layer joy. A spoon sinking through whipped cream, chocolate cake, and coffee-kissed pudding feels like a love affair in glass form.

Inspired by Julie & Julia, I’m cooking my way through Magnolia Table Volumes 1, 2, and 3. I’m calling it The Jeanie Jo & Joanna Project. Recipe 53 of 457 is Mocha Trifle Cups—and here’s how it turned out.

The flavors were rich without being heavy, the kind of bite that makes you close your eyes for just a second longer. The pudding held its silky texture, the cake soaked up just enough espresso, and the cream crowned it all like a final flourish. Individual cups made them feel fancy, but the truth? We devoured them like kids at a birthday party.

I couldn’t help but wonder if pizza is the real love language. Forget roses and handwritten notes. Sometimes romance is barbecue sauce brushed over warm dough, pulled chicken tangled with melted sharp cheddar cheese, and the golden edges of crust baked just right.

Inspired by Julie & Julia, I’m cooking my way through Magnolia Table Volumes 1, 2, and 3. I’m calling it The Jeanie Jo & Joanna Project. Recipe 52 of 457 is BBQ Chicken Pizza—and here’s how it turned out.

The smoky sweetness of the sauce met the gooey cheese like a first kiss you actually want to remember. The crust was crisp enough to hold its own yet soft enough to fold, New York-style. It’s backyard barbecue meets Friday night pizza party, and we didn’t leave a single slice behind.

I couldn’t help but wonder… is tradition really about what’s written on the recipe card or the way we improvise when we get to the stove?

Cacio e Pepe, the simplest of pastas, became my experiment after some research. I toasted the pepper first, treated pasta water like liquid gold, and cooled it to 150° before whisking in the cheese. Off the heat, the Parmesan and Pecorino melted into a glossy sauce instead of clumping. Tiny tweaks, big difference.

Turns out, sometimes the tradition isn’t just the exact ingredients, it’s the ritual of stirring, waiting, and then trusting yourself enough to make it yours.

It’s a love story… kind of like Taylor and Travis. Roasted red peppers bring the smoky sweetness, gouda brings the creamy melt, and together they just work.

From Magnolia Table, Vol. 3, this Roasted Red Pepper Gouda Soup (p.147) is silky, cozy, and exactly the kind of comfort I crave. And because every love story deserves a sidekick, I served it with Roasted Garlic Parmesan Toast from the same volume.

Dinner called and I answered with Chicken Piccata from Magnolia Table, Vol. 1. Golden crisp cutlets, artichoke hearts softening the edges, capers bringing their salty punch, and lemon cutting through as the life of the party.

On the side I made angel hair pasta from the Magnolia blog, tossed simply with olive oil, garlic, and herbs. Light enough to let the sauce shine, yet twirl-worthy all the same.

The verdict: bold, briny, bright. A dinner plate that felt like restaurant dining without the reservation.

Not every salad needs to be a supermodel. Some just need a really good dressing and the right lighting.

Inspired by Julie & Julia, I’m cooking my way through Magnolia Table Volumes 1, 2, and 3. I’m calling it The Jeanie Jo & Joanna Project. Recipes 35 & 36 of 457: Red Wine Vinaigrette + Quick Table Salad — Magnolia Table, Vol. 1

Spring greens, mandarin oranges, dried cherries, and pecans—all tossed in a sharp, tangy vinaigrette that knows it’s the star. The sweetness of fruit, the crunch of nuts, the greens soaking up every drop of dressing… This isn’t just a salad. It’s a mood.

Because sometimes the table doesn’t need flowers.
It needs this.
