Currently Crush-Worthy: What’s Capturing My Attention Now

currently crushing on

Hello! How are you spending this September weekend?

This week I shared a delicious caramelized onion and burst tomato pasta skillet that’s bursting with flavor. I also posted a salted maple granola recipe, a roundup of 25 of the best fall cocktails, and brown butter iced pumpkin cookies that are absolutely irresistible.

There’s a new “What to Eat This Week” post and a fresh “A Week in the Life” update as well.

Wishing you a lovely weekend! xo

Black-eyed peas with cornbread dumplings is a comforting, soulful dish that’s calling my name.

A vegan pumpkin cake that’s moist and perfectly spiced is an ideal option for plant-based bakers and anyone craving autumn dessert.

Hot chocolate cupcakes—cute, decadent, and great for parties or cozy nights in.

A classic tomato salad, bright and simple, showcases ripe tomatoes at their best.
