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

currently crushing on

Hello, weekend! I’m thrilled we’re turning the clocks forward and getting more daylight — it’s been such a long winter.

On the blog this week I shared a few favorites: a roasted broccoli cheddar risotto that tastes like risotto mac and cheese, and a sneak peek recipe from my new book featuring chicken Romano meatballs. I also rounded up a selection of spring cocktails and mocktails, and posted an Irish cream tiramisu recipe. Yes, please.

There’s also a new weekly menu up, plus a peek into our daily lives if you want a little behind-the-scenes.

Have you preordered my newest book, Everyday Dinners, yet? With any preorder you receive a free bonus cookbook. Everyday Dinners is full of weeknight dinner gold — plenty of recipes that come together in under 30 minutes, a simple 10-minute meal prep strategy for each recipe, and tons of practical tips and ideas to make weeknights easier and more enjoyable. It would mean so much if you ordered — there’s even a signed preorder option available.

Have a wonderful weekend! xo
