Hello again, it’s Friday Faves!
It’s January, the month that instills the hope and renewed vigor to tackle the list of challenges and goals you may have made.
And with that, my friends, I need your help.
This year marks 15 years of sharing recipes here on FoodieCrush. 15 years of sharing weekly lists of Friday Faves. 15 years of connecting with so many amazing readers, friends, and home cooks whom I hope to have inspired, because each one of you, with your eyeballs, your clicks, and comments, has inspired me to keep on sharing.
Looking forward (as one tends to do in this mighty month), I need some new year inspiration. I need you. I need your thoughts. I need your wants.
This community means the world to me, and I value the fact you choose to spend time here. That’s why for my 15th anniversary, my wish is to hear how I can help you more.
- What do you want to see more of on FoodieCrush?
- What do you want to see less of?
- What problems do you need help solving?
- Where do you want to see it and connect with it? (on the blog? in emails? on Instagram? on Facebook?)
- What are some of your favorite topics/things/resources you’d like me to share more of?
Thank you for considering leaving a comment below or sending me an email with your thoughts. I truly want to create a space you find value in and one I enjoy creating. You guys are simply the best! So send me your messages! XO
What I love about this muffin pan is that it’s silicone (obvi) but has a rigid frame, so whatever’s inside doesn’t just get slopped around when transferring to the oven. Smart. Who’s ready to bake?!!!
This was the heartwarming thing I needed to see and hear this week.
The Olympics are just days away! I cannot wait to see Lindsey Vonn BRING IT with her Olympic comeback of the century. Also, did you know why all the special equipment for this sport comes from the same tiny Scottish island? Crazy, right?
How to simplify your to-do list.
Buy less, buy better. How to spend less this year.
Are you up for trying the no-buy pantry challenge to save money and use what you’ve already got, forever lingering in your kitchen? I am gonna do it!
This week I shared my new recipe for Marry Me Shrimp Pasta, but if you have a meat lover, try this one with steak.
Another winner, winner chicken dinner. Confit!
How to freeze basil. Good to know.
I could certainly eat this for breakfast every day.
Butter beans. Not just fun to say, but definitely fun to eat in this salad.
What a fun way to make gnocchi.
Sliders are making their way to your Super Bowl feast. Which would you choose: Pepperoni caesar salad sliders or pastrami sliders?
If you’re a sourdough baker, try this recipe with caraway seeds (which are totally undervalued IMO.)
Or, cinnamon swirl bread is always a good breakfast bet.
Chicken wings with a Korean spiced bite.
Who doesn’t love an easy lettuce wrap, this time it’s with beef.
Let’s make coffee cake cool again.
Who wouldn’t love these chocolate brownies with a burst of berries?!?
Cute Valentine’s cookie cutters plus LIPS!
My friend told me she loved this book, and I love a good historical fiction novel. Judging by the reviews, so do a lot of others.
I was walking my dog when I noticed I was looking at the ground 2 feet in front of me. Bring that chin up, girlie! Hold that head high! Then I read this article on why posture matters for longevity, and I know I need to keep it up.
Okay, I bought this newly formulated nail polish, and I cannot believe it’s lasted longer than a week, even after doing dishes! I finish my DIY mani with this top coat. It doesn’t have a very wide selection of colors, but it’s super glossy, and the lighter color I chose def helps hide any chips that may happen.
What a perfect eye shadow palette.
The anti-jean trouser trend the ‘it girls’ are loving now.
The softest, comfiest Valentine’s jammies in short or long.
What a pretty dress, and with so many colors, it’s perfect for wedding season.
Did I already share my gardening goals for winter sowing? If so, here is another article on how to get started. I’ve got to get busy.
If you want to start journaling, this is a very approachable guide for beginners.
I heard this game is actually entertaining, with conversation starters you’ll actually want to have with friends this weekend, or any other!
That’s it for this week. Have a wonderful weekend, stay warm, and cook something good!
