Currently Crushing On: People, Places, and Things I Love Right Now

currently crushing on

Happy Saturday!

This week on the blog we released the free Everyday Dinners bonus cookbook. I also posted an easy lemon butter shrimp and broccoli skillet for a quick weeknight meal. Other recent favorites include our banana oatmeal muffins, a round-up of St. Patrick’s Day recipes and a 15-minute lemon parmesan cauliflower gnocchi.

There’s also a new weekly menu post and another “week in the life” update if you want meal ideas and a peek behind the scenes.

Have you preordered my newest cookbook, Everyday Dinners? When you preorder, you’ll receive the free bonus cookbook. Everyday Dinners is full of weeknight recipes you can make in 30 minutes or less, plus my 10-minute meal prep strategy for each dish and plenty of tips and tricks to keep weeknights simple and enjoyable. If you’d like a signed preorder copy you can order one directly from the publisher.

Have a great weekend! xo

What I’m loving this week

Beet and arugula salad with fried apples — a bright, surprising salad that I can’t stop thinking about.

Creamy chipotle chicken — rich, smoky and perfect for serving with rice or tortillas.

Lemon broccoli tortellini salad — tart, fresh and great for potlucks or quick lunches.

Citrus and honey mocktail — refreshing and beautifully balanced without alcohol.

Strawberry pistachio cake — light, dreamy and a lovely spring dessert.

Smoky double potato chowder — comforting, hearty and full of flavor.

Passionfruit coconut cupcakes — tropical, moist cupcakes with a bright finish.

Cast iron skillet buttermilk cornbread — a classic with a crisp edge and tender crumb.

Chorizo breakfast skillet — savory, satisfying, and exactly what you want for a weekend morning.

Strawberry pretzel cheeseball — sweet, salty and incredibly addictive.

Meatless meatloaf — an intriguing plant-forward take on a comfort food favorite.

Air-fryer Korean fried chicken — crispy, spicy, and perfect for making at home with less oil.
