Currently Crushing On: Who and Why They’re Captivating You

currently crushing on

Hello long weekend!

This week on the blog I shared a spicy jalapeño cheddar broccoli salad and a bright rainbow chopped fruit salad. I also rounded up a bunch of recipes for Memorial Day weekend and posted my Summer 2026 reading list.

Check out my May favorites for a few current obsessions. You can also browse my warm-weather essentials for more seasonal picks.

I publish a weekly newsletter on Substack where I share fresh finds and ideas. My curated favorites are also available in my Amazon storefront, on Shop My, and in my LTK shop.

There’s a new menu for the week and a new “A Week in the Life” where I share a peek into our everyday routines.

Thank you for continuing to make Easy Everyday so special. If you haven’t picked up a copy yet, you can order it — I truly appreciate your support. xo

What I’m Loving This Week

I’ve been craving Cajun corn on the cob — the kind with bold spices and a little char. Perfect for backyard meals.

Sun-dried tomato pasta salad is a bright, savory option that’s great for a picnic or side dish.

Vampiro tacos sound incredible — smoky, tangy, and full of texture.

No-bake strawberry white chocolate cheesecake is an effortless summer dessert that feels indulgent without heating up the kitchen.

Chocolate-covered berries are an easy, elegant treat that never disappoints.

A blueberry white wine spritzer is light, fruity, and perfect for warm afternoons.

The ultimate shrimp salad makes a great make-ahead lunch or sandwich filling with plenty of fresh herbs and crunch.

Carrot coconut soup is refreshingly tropical and surprisingly soothing served chilled or warm.

Lemon roasted chicken is going on my meal plan — simple, bright, and endlessly useful for leftovers.

Southwest bean salad is a colorful, protein-packed side that travels well to potlucks.

We always love an old-school no-bake Oreo layer dessert for easy entertaining.

Banana chocolate chip muffins are a reliable favorite in our house — moist, sweet, and perfect for breakfast or snacks.

Planning to make fresh raspberry gin slushies this weekend — cold, tart, and so refreshing.
