Crushing On: How to Handle a New Crush and Make a Move

currently crushing on

Hi and happy Saturday!

This week I shared a few favorites on the blog, including weeknight baked ground turkey tacos, whole roasted buffalo cauliflower, a collection of recipes perfect for apple picking, and a pesto pasta pie. If you missed anything, check out the new weekly menu and a peek into our week in the life.

We also launched a new challenge in our cookbook club that runs through the end of October with prizes. All you need to participate is a copy of the book Everyday Dinners. It’s currently on a major sale, and I’ve loved seeing everyone’s creations in the cookbook club and on Instagram. Join us for the challenges and giveaways!

Baked pears with oat crumble — a simple, elegant dessert that pairs fruit with warm spices and a crunchy topping.

Fall spiced latte — a homemade spin on a cozy café classic that fills your kitchen with seasonal aroma.

Banana cream cheese skillet cake — rich, moist, and ideal for sharing straight from the pan.

Biscuits and gravy casserole — a hearty, soul-warming dish that’s perfect for brunch or a chilly morning.

Chocolate peanut butter brownies — decadent and fudgy, the ultimate treat for peanut butter lovers.
