Happy Saturday! I absolutely love October — it feels like the coziest month of the year.
This week on the blog I shared a delicious butternut squash frittata, a warm and comforting chicken soup risotto, sweet-and-spicy hot honey roasted Brussels sprouts, and our much-loved vodka sauce pizza. Each recipe is perfect for fall and easy enough to make during a busy week.
You can find an updated weekly menu along with a peek into our week in life on the blog. I also posted my September favorites — a roundup of things I’ve been using and loving this month.
