Currently Crushing On: Who and Why Celebrities, Trends, and Finds

currently crushing on

Hello and happy weekend!

This week on the blog I shared a delicious pork schnitzel with Brussels sprouts slaw, a creamy skillet ricotta pasta, a brown sugar bourbon smash, and an irresistible caramel pretzel skillet cookie. If you’re planning meals, there’s a new weekly menu available, plus a peek into our week in a “week in the life” post. I also rounded up everything I read in September.

You can order your copy of Everyday Dinners now. If you have the book, be sure to join the Everyday Dinners Cookbook Club on Facebook — it’s been going strong since The Pretty Dish and it’s so much fun. I love seeing your photos on Instagram and in the cookbook club. Join us for recipe challenges and giveaways — a new challenge started last week!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend! xoxo
