currently crushing on I howsweeteats.com

This edition of currently crushing on is slightly different because earlier this week, two of my closest friends Ashley and Bev organized the OMG MOST AMAZING virtual baby shower and surprised the heck out of me. They even had a theme – TRASHED UP FOOD – like, do they know me or what? I want to eat all the meals. I am so insanely grateful for this wonderful community.

The recipes (all 65 of them!) that these fabulous bloggers made are so incredible that I had to share every single one. The links aren’t much different than what I’d normally tell you about because the food is to die for. Eat it up!
