Currently Crushing On – aug 29 2015.
{via}
Hey hey! Did this week fly by or did this week fly by? It totally FLEW by. Are you in Fall mode yet? I am not… like, not at all.
What else? On Thursday night I was on the judging panel for some of the most delicious food at Savor Pittsburgh. While it was utterly fantastic, I sort of wanted to crawl on the couch and stay there forever after tasting, like, FORTY dishes. (Yeah yeah, it you were following me on snapchat I certainly wasn’t snapping my dinner!) One bite of each was more than enough, even though I wanted to eat every dessert, always.
Some exciting news: I need your help. Because I’m looking to build a super awesome team for some super awesome upcoming projects. Meaning I’m hiring some party people! You get first dibs. Yes it’s true. If you’re local, this is for you.
Some other exciting news: I’m contributing a few brand new + exclusive recipes to The Pioneer Woman’s site every month. You can find one of them here: these Homemade Blackberry Soda Floats are RIDIC. (!!!!!)
What are you into this weekend? Today I’m doing some fun wedding things with a friend and maaaaaybe soaking up the remainder of the August sun. And an ice cream cone. Or a taco? Or a choco taco. Duh. Easiest solution ever.
How good were the internets to use this week? Fantastic.
My current love language: coconut tarts with a chocolate macaroon crust. GAH.
Let’s be honest. I can’t help but do a leeeeeettle bit of damage at Target right now that it’s school supply season. So, grown up school supplies? Yes please. (I might have already bought the pencils.)
Freaking cheesy mozzarella French toast. how? when? where? why not?
But on to bigger questions: why am I not eating these fruity pebble buttermilk donuts right this very second? Whoa whoa.
Meatball parm sliders!! Yes yes yes.
Can we make coconut oil popcorn, watch Felicity and do DIY banana split manis tonight? I think so.
Have been ridiculously craving this salmon potato arugula salad all week.
Please look at the butter on this cornbread. Perfection? For sure.
Something about this gnocchi makes me want to dive in immediately. So amazingly comforting.
To finish off the summer, I want a blueberry plum almond crumble.
Sweet corn and black bean tacos? Get those fresh corn recipes made in your kitchen people!
Same with this maple bacon polenta. Oooooh oooh ohhh.
Finally, can we top off the week with a kiwi caipirinha (the photos!!!) or a spicy jalapeno margarita? Together? It’s been… a WEEK. You know.

HIRING? “Honey, we are moving to Pittsburg this afternoon!” I tried, but it didn’t work. He didn’t jump from the couch and pack his bag in eager anticipation, although mine is 3/4 packed! Already so envious of the jewels that you’ll hire. Congrats and keep producing the incredible recipes and stinkin’ cute kids. I’ll go pout now and unpack my suitcase…….or maybe snuggle on the couch with Seriously Delish and an iced mocha for some comfort?
!!!! I literally want to move to Pittsburgh and apply for your content assistant job (not possible, but I can dream can’t I ?) WHY is Baltimore so far? The person who gets that job and gets to hang out with you and Max and eat delicious food all day is one lucky duck! :) Good luck in your search!!
Love this post as always! Congrats on the Pioneer Woman slot that’s incredible but I can’t think of anyone more deserving! Those floats look out of this world!! I’m also digging those two cocktails at the end… even though its 10am lol
Congrats on being so busy/popular you need to hire a team! If you ever need help in the Boston area, let me know! :)
What exciting new!!! I love the Pioneer Woman and I love you so that’s the perfect combo :) I would love to be a part of your super awesome team, but do not live in the Pittsburgh area…bummer! Have fun with all your new projects!
Let me know when How Sweet – New Jersey edition needs people. I’ll be the first on line.
LOVE the back to school supplies for adults!! And Molly’s maple bacon polenta…drooooool. Thanks for the drink <3, Jessica!!
Hey…it’s so fun to see your success continue to grow…great blog, married life, gorgeous baby, cook book (plus all the other stuff like cooking classes etc)…and now, you’re gonna be a BOSS! Love, love, love it…congrats on all the good stuff happening!
Thank you, thank you (yet again!) for the shout out! Seriously, makes my Saturday every single time! Also, I’ve been working to convince my boyfriend we need to move to Pittsburg so I can apply for your intern position and I *THINK* I’m getting somewhere. ;) XO
Loved your recipe over on PW, so delish. And hooray that you’re hiring! That’ll leave more time for you to plot your next adventure! Congrats (and thank you *kiss*)!
Oh I wish I lived closer to you! I would apply in heartbeat.
PS.
Those corn and black bean tacos are so good! I made them about a week ago. Perfection.
