Book Confessions of an Ex-Ballerina

Welcome to another week of culinary inspiration! As the seasons begin to shift and the air takes on a crisp edge, it's the perfect time to dive into cozy, comforting dishes that nourish both body and soul. This week's menu is packed with hearty favorites, seasonal produce, and a few surprises to keep things exciting. Whether you're planning meals for a busy family or looking to try something new, I hope these recipes spark joy and satisfy your cravings!

This week, I’m diving into Good Dirt by Charmaine Wilkerson, an author whose debut novel, Black Cake, I absolutely loved. Wilkerson has a way of weaving together family secrets, history, and culture in a way that feels deeply personal and universal at the same time. I’m excited to see how Good Dirt explores themes of legacy, identity, and the connections we have with the land. If it’s anything like Black Cake, I’m expecting rich, layered storytelling that lingers long after the final page.

Its time to dive into this weeks menu. Enjoy!
