Current Crushes: Who and Why You’re Obsessed

currently crushing on

Hey hey!

This week on the blog I shared a delicious weeknight turkey chili, perfect for busy evenings. I also posted a bright and satisfying smashed chickpea salad, comforting pumpkin lasagna roll-ups, and a cozy bowl of pumpkin pie oatmeal — all great ways to welcome the season.

There’s also a fresh “What to Eat This Week” roundup and a new “A Week in the Life” post for anyone who likes a peek behind the scenes. I rounded things out with my fall reading list, full of picks to curl up with on cooler nights.

Below are my weekly loves — recipes, drinks and cozy finds I can’t stop thinking about. Have a great one! xo
