Currently Crushing On: What It Means and Why It Matters

img 71007 1

Hello!

This week on the blog I shared a comforting cheddar cauliflower chowder that’s perfect for chilly nights. I also posted a warm Brussels sprouts crunch salad that’s full of texture and flavor, and sticky chicken tenders that are completely irresistible—I want some right now. I rounded up a selection of favorite Super Bowl recipes as well.

There’s a new weekly menu on the blog if you’re planning meals, plus a peek into our week in the life for a little behind-the-scenes. And if you’re curious, I finally posted an update about baby number three.

If you haven’t preordered my newest cookbook, Everyday Dinners, yet, I’d be so grateful if you would. A signed preorder option is available.

Thank you for being here — I appreciate you!

Love,

xoxo
