Currently Crushing On: What It Means and How to Tell If You’re Smitten

crushing on

Hello weekend!

I launched a new Substack called Curated Cravings — it’s a bit more personal than this site, so subscribe if you want extra content and occasional sneak peeks from the book. Nothing here is changing; Curated Cravings is simply additional, fun content. Big news: the bonus cookbook is available if you preorder a copy of Easy Everyday. If you’re in the Pittsburgh area, you can RSVP for the book launch evening.

This week on the blog I published chipotle cheddar cauliflower enchiladas and crispy potato egg souffle bites. I also shared a round-up of my favorite spring cocktails and mocktails and a banana cake with chocolate peanut butter frosting.

I posted my Amazon spring favorites and a roundup of March favorites. There’s a new menu for the week and a fresh peek into our everyday life with an A Week in the Life post.

I rounded up my Easter favorites, kids’ Easter basket ideas, and spring must-haves. Since moving last year, I’ve also shared 25 of my current favorite home items.

You can find all my recommendations in my Amazon storefront and my LTK shop.

You can now order my next cookbook, Easy Everyday. I’d be thrilled if you ordered a copy — and there’s a Facebook group where readers and home cooks gather that’s fun to join.
