Current Crush: Who I’m Crushing On Now and Why

currently crushing on

Hi there! Fall is almost here — can you believe it? What are you doing in these last warm days of summer?

This week on the blog I shared a new honeycrisp quinoa kale salad that’s absolutely delicious. I also posted a maple sheet pan smoked sausage meal and apple cider funnel cakes, plus a roundup of 45 favorite fall dinner recipes.

There’s a fresh “What to Eat This Week” post and a new “A Week in the Life” update. I also put together a list of my favorite fall candles to help set the cozy mood.

Wishing you a lovely weekend! xo

What I’m loving this week:

The cutest Halloween cookies — perfect for festive baking.

Burnt caramel custard. I’m obsessed with the flavor and texture.

This looks like the best taco salad ever — bright, fresh, and filling.

Pumpkin s’mores cookies that happen to be gluten free — fall dessert goals.

Asian beef and noodles that promise bold, savory flavors.

Everything bagel roasted potatoes — simple, crunchy, and addictive.

Slutty brownie cookies — decadent and irresistible.

Sausage tortellini soup — warm and comforting for cooler nights.

Strawberry cheesecake stuffed croissants — pure indulgence for breakfast or brunch.

Air fryer chicken wings — crisp, fast, and delicious.

Air fryer chicken thighs — juicy with a beautifully browned exterior.

Dutch caramel apple pie — a showstopping autumn dessert.

Vanilla sunflower chia butter — an interesting and tasty spread idea.

Shredded beef for tacos — tender and packed with flavor.

Perfect egg salad sandwiches with roasted beet elements — a fresh take on a classic.

Simple vanilla ice cream — elegant, creamy, and versatile.

Pumpkin swirl cheesecake bars — rich, seasonal, and shareable.

Apple cider cupcakes with cider buttercream frosting — everything you want in a fall cupcake.
