| Hi friends! I hope you've had a lovely week. It's really starting to feel like fall here in Chicago and we've been loving the cozy vibes. Our kitchen renovation is kicking off in a matter of days, so I've been planning out simple, nourishing meals for the family. AK Dinner Party: October is coming. We LOVED seeing all of your amazing dinner party creations this month. The winner of September's dinner party will be announced via email and on social on Monday morning, and then we'll drop October's recipe (chosen by you on Instagram!) on Wednesday morning. Get all of the deets here -- can't wait to share!
NEW: 5 things we loved this week I'm excited to bring back a list of weekly, non-food favs to share along with your regular menu! Here are 5 closet staples the team and I have been loving: 1. Agolde Lana Straight Leg Jeans: these are my go-to, comfy, flattering jeans (when I'm not pregnant!)
2. H&M Turtleneck: I wear this under everything and it's under $10!
3. Lulus One-Shoulder Dress: Abra loves this dress for fall weddings.
4. Greats Royal Sneakers: these are Rebecca's absolute favorite white sneakers.
5. Everlane Utility Barrel Pant: Rebecca swears by these super versatile pants! And finally, let's celebrate pumpkin season with a recipe for every meal. Let me know which one is your fav! 5 pumpkin recipes to cook this week
Breakfast: Healthy Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes Start your day with the fluffiest pumpkin pancakes filled with cozy spices and hearty oats. The batter can be made right in your blender for such an easy breakfast! Top with maple syrup, a little yogurt (or whipped cream) and nuts if you'd like. . 
Lunch: Vegan Curried Pumpkin Lentil Soup You're going to LOVE how nourishing, flavorful and filling this wonderful soup is. It has creamy coconut milk for a lovely richness and is packed with protein from tender lentils. Serve with naan or crackers for the perfect lunch. 
Snack: Nourishing Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread If you love my almond flour banana bread you're going to be obsessed with this pumpkin version. It's made in one bowl, gluten free, naturally sweetened, and absolutely incredible with chocolate in every bite. 
Dinner: Vegetarian Spinach Pumpkin Lasagna Fall comfort food at its finest. This vegetarian lasagna is layered up with real pumpkin puree, an entire bag of spinach (get those greens in!) and plenty of melty cheese. The sweet & savory combo is UNREAL! 
Dessert: Brown Butter Pumpkin Snickerdoodles These gorgeous snickerdoodles are perfectly crispy on the outside, chewy in the middle, and filled with pumpkin flavor thanks to real pumpkin puree + spices. You're going to LOVE this fall twist on traditional snickerdoodles!
