Currently Crushing On. (Baby Shower Edition!)
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!

SO happy you loved the shower. We had a blast planning it, and I’m sure Bev is super happy because I text her all the time now! haha ;) <3 <3
This was epic. I am going to work my way through every one.
With reasonably nutritious, some people appetites!ブランド靴コピー
so I follow the Beeroness’s blog too, and when I saw her tater tot pizza on Friday I FLIPPED out because my boyfriend and I totally had this amazing trashed up tater tot pizza when we were in Minnesota, and were so bummed that it was from a chain that was not to be found where we live… needless to say we made beer cheese tater tot pizza Friday night and it was killer!!! carbs on carbs FTW!
honestly….i’m just sad us food bloggers haven’t figured out a delivery system for all the stuff we put online yet. because I want ALL of these!
