Currently Crushing On: What It Means and Why It Matters

currently crushing on I howsweeteats.com

I can’t believe it’s already March! I’m thrilled because my first shipment of The Pretty Dish arrived this week—so exciting. The book launches in just 17 days and I’m counting down. If you haven’t preordered yet, you still can, and preordering also qualifies you to receive a free bonus ebook with extra recipes.

Besides book things, I shared several new posts this week: a day-in-the-life entry, my February lifestyle favorites, and my February beauty favorites. It’s been a busy, fun week of content and small moments that make life sweet.

Tomorrow Emilia turns four months old and, predictably, I’m a little teary about how quickly time is moving. Babies grow up fast!

What are your plans this weekend? I’d love to hear what you’re up to—tell me the highlights. xo

The best of the internet this week:

Brilliant snack idea: a sweet-and-salty yogurt snack that’s easy and addictive.

Fun for Oscar night: a printable popcorn bingo to make a party out of the big show.

For chocolate fans: caramelized white chocolate swirl brownies that look irresistible.

A standout main: an orange-bourbon pecan glazed ham that’s flavorful even for those who don’t usually love ham.

Creative cocktail: a roasted red pepper Bloody Mary with bold, smoky notes.

Decor inspiration: a DIY rainbow wall hanging that brings color and charm to any room.

Comfort food: crispy buttermilk chicken tenders, baked or air-fried for a healthier twist.

Weekend breakfast: grapefruit crispy waffles—bright, tangy, and fresh.

Craving-worthy: a Spanish tortilla with olives and shiitake mushrooms for a savory, satisfying bite.

Healthy bowls: cauliflower rice and kale bowls with black beans—nutritious and tasty.

Bakery-style: easy blueberry muffins that are simple to bake and crowd-pleasing.

Fresh salad: a chopped Greek salad filled with crisp vegetables and tangy dressing.

Gluten-free treat: teff chocolate chip date cookies for a nutty, wholesome cookie option.

If any of these caught your eye, give them a try this weekend. I’m always bookmarking recipes and projects to test—hope you find something you love too.
