JJ & Joanna Pro

By mealandgrace

Inspired by Julie & Julia, I’m cooking my way through Magnolia Table Volumes 1, 2, & 3.

They used to say being soft meant being small. But maybe softness just means you know exactly who you are — steady, grounded, impossible to shake. Like a pot of soup that takes its time, simmering until the flavors learn to trust each other.

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 78 of 457 is Sausage & Kale Soup—and here’s how it turned out.

The homemade stock was rich and layered, the sausage bold, the kale tender but strong. It wasn’t flashy or fussy. It just showed up, warm and sure of itself. Sweet like honey, warm like home.

Maybe it’s true what Taylor says — some things shimmer quietly, like opal in the light or bread rising in a warm kitchen. This loaf didn’t need glitter, just Galveston-brewed Oktoberfest beer and a little patience to become something golden and good.

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 77 of 457 is Beer Bread—made with local Galveston-brewed Oktoberfest beer—and here’s how it turned out.

The crust baked crisp, the inside stayed tender, and the beer added a mellow sweetness that tasted like fall on the island. It was humble, a little sparkly in spirit, and exactly the kind of loaf that reminds you beauty doesn’t have to shout to be seen.

Maybe soup isn’t just food at all. Maybe it’s a story told in simmering broth, each ingredient a character adding its own line to the script. Chicken for comfort, rice for substance, corn for sweetness, and spices that know how to make an entrance.

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 73 of 457 is Tortilla Soup—and here’s how it turned out.

The broth carried a smoky warmth, the chicken stayed tender, and the toppings turned each bowl into a choose-your-own-adventure. It was vibrant without being fussy, hearty without being heavy. A weeknight soup that tastes like it belongs at a long table with friends.

They say comfort comes in many forms. For me, it came in a pot of French Lentil Soup—earthy, humble, and quietly beautiful. Yellow onion, carrots, and celery softened in butter, lentils simmered until tender, pork bone and herbs adding warmth with every stir. The kind of soup that doesn’t shout, but hums—a steady reminder that simple food can carry the deepest comfort.

Inspired by Julie & Julia, I’m cooking my way through Magnolia Table Volumes 1, 2, and 3. Recipe 39 of 457 is French Lentil Soup from Volume 2—and here’s how it turned out.

We ladled it into bowls more than once this week, the kind of meal you’re grateful to have leftovers of. Hearty, cozy, and satisfying enough to stand on its own, but also perfect alongside a slice of warmed homemade bread.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ = Loved it
A clear winner. Clean bowls, warm hearts, and the kind of recipe I’ll come back to whenever I need comfort.

Today’s menu proves that simple can still be soulful. A ham sandwich on homemade honey oat bread with a side of French lentil soup — because sometimes comfort looks like two classics sitting down at the same table. 🥖🍲

Maybe home isn’t four walls after all. Maybe it’s the smell of yeast blooming in warm water, oats scattering across the counter, and honey drizzled into dough like a promise you intend to keep.

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 66 of 457 is Honey Oat Bread—and here’s how it turned out.

The crust was golden and nutty, the crumb soft enough to soak up butter the second it touched. Each slice held a gentle sweetness, sturdy for sandwiches yet tender enough to eat warm with nothing but a little more honey. This loaf tasted like comfort with an exclamation point.

They say love is complicated, but maybe it’s just layered. A chocolate cookie crust pressed into place, a silk-smooth filling whipped until it holds secrets, and a cloud of cream piled high like it has nothing to hide.

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 65 of 457 is French Silk Pie with Chocolate Cookie Crust—and here’s how it turned out.

The crust was dark and crumbly, the perfect foil for a filling that was as decadent as its name promised. Each forkful melted before it could be chewed, a whisper of chocolate that lingered longer than you expected. A pie that feels like both a grand finale and a reason to start dinner with dessert.

What if the best kind of party is the one that starts in the kitchen? No confetti, no guest list, just brisket slow-cooked until it falls apart, piled onto soft rolls, and finished with a cool crunch of slaw.

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 63 and 64 of 457 are Pulled Brisket Sliders & Coleslaw—and here’s how they turned out.

The brisket was tender and smoky, sweetened by its sauce and hugged by the bread like it was meant to be there. The slaw brought balance, crisp and bright against the richness. Together they felt like summer barbecue, even if eaten indoors on a Thursday.

Maybe comfort isn’t found in big moments after all. Maybe it’s simmering quietly on the stove, filling the kitchen with the kind of warmth that smells like home.

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 62 of 457 is Chicken and Wild Rice Soup—and here’s how it turned out.

The broth was rich and soothing, the chicken tender, the wild rice earthy and grounding. Each spoonful felt like a hug you could taste, steady and familiar. It’s the kind of soup that makes you linger at the table a little longer, because leaving it feels too much like leaving home.

Some mornings whisper instead of shout. They ask for coffee poured slow, a skillet warming on the stove, and batter that folds pecans into its heart like secrets worth keeping.

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 59 and 60 of 457 are Pecan Pancakes with Maple Butter—and here’s how it turned out.

The pancakes were tender with just enough crunch from toasted pecans, the kind of texture that makes you pause between bites. The maple butter melted into every pocket like it belonged there all along. Sweet, nutty, and a little indulgent, it felt like brunch had pulled up a chair at our weekday table.

“Six nuts, six nuts, six nuts, ten.” @joannagaines voice echoed like a kitchen mantra, her shorthand for layering phyllo and nuts until only ten sheets remained. It felt more like choreography than a recipe, a rhythm that carried me straight into something sweet and sacred.

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 58 of 457 is Baklava—and here’s how it turned out.

Flaky, sticky, and impossibly sweet, each bite was a love letter sealed in honey. The crunch gave way to a tender, syrup-soaked center that demanded silence, like the world should pause for dessert. It was messy, it was golden, and it was worth every single layer.

What if the best passport isn’t tucked in your bag but baked right in your oven? Last week, travel came in the form of little golden pockets, warm and savory, with a salad bright enough to taste like sunshine on a plate.

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 56 and 57 of 457 are Jo’s Fatayar and Lebanese Salad—and here’s how they turned out.

The fatayar, stuffed with spiced beef, came out of the oven with a flaky shell that gave way to comfort in every bite. The Lebanese salad was crisp, tangy, and alive with lemon, cucumber, and tomato, balancing richness with brightness. Together, they felt like dinner and a story, reminding me that the table can take you places even when your suitcase stays put.

I couldn’t help but wonder if breakfast is really about coffee at all or if it is about the company of something sweet beside it. Yesterday morning, it was tender scones, laced with maple and freckled with walnuts, the kind of pastry that makes you pause before the day takes over.

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 55 of 457 is Maple Walnut Scones—and here’s how it turned out.

The maple glaze settled into the ridges like golden light through a kitchen window. Each bite was nutty, buttery, and just shy of decadent, the kind of bake that feels at home on both a weekday table and a holiday brunch spread. These are the scones you make when you want the ordinary to feel like quite extraordinary.

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.
