Hey reader!
I pulled on a sweatshirt this morning for the first time since last spring, which felt deliciously cozy on a cool and drizzly late summer morning.
I then peeled it off an hour later after said sweatshirt was causing me to sweat buckets!
That said, it's a funny time of year food wise when outside temps are still warm - nay hot - in the afternoons around here, but mentally I've moved on to soups, casseroles, and other soul warming comfort foods.
It seems like many of you can relate. I took a look at the most popular recipes on Iowa Girl Eats right now and am seeing a whole lotta comfort food mixed with a few warm weather favorites, which I'm sharing below as inspiration for what to cook in this "somewhere in between" type of week.
Which directions are your taste buds heading right now? Hanging on to summer favorites, or moving on to cozier comfort foods?
