The Best Of October | Your Favorite Recipes This Month
Here are the recipes you liked the most this month!

Hi foodie,
October was a busy (and beautiful) month. Between sleepless nights and diaper changes (yes, parenting two kids now!), I didn’t have as much time to create new recipes as I’d hoped, but I still managed to publish 5 new recipes and update over 10 older favorites.
As we move into November, I’m already testing some winter comfort food and holiday dessert recipes — so stay tuned, you don’t want to miss what’s coming next! 🎄🍪
What’s New This Month
Before we jump into the Top 10 Most Popular Recipes of October, here’s a quick look at the new recipes I shared this month. If you missed them, now’s the perfect time to catch up, they’re all cozy, flavorful, and totally worth trying
Roasted Pumpkin Curry Soup – Creamy, warming, and packed with fall spices. Perfect for chilly evenings.
Cottage Pie – Classic comfort food at its best — savory beef filling topped with creamy mashed potatoes.
Chocolate Banana Bread – Moist, chocolatey, and just sweet enough. Great way to use ripe bananas!
Meatloaf – Juicy, flavorful, and topped with a tangy glaze. A perfect family dinner recipe.
Lemon Curd – Bright, silky, and citrusy. Use it for cakes, tarts, or just eat it by the spoon!
