Wishing that I was still back sipping espresso in France, you know, like we were doing in this adorable little cafe near Monet’s water lily garden two weeks ago today. :) Oh my word, the trip was absolutely amazing. And as soon as I sort through the zillions of photos that we snapped on our trip, I can’t wait to share with you all about it!
Listening to this new album. The video to their opening track gave me goosebumps.
Sleeping on my new splurge, this silk pillowcase. I keep hearing about how they are so good for your skin and hair — have you tried one?
Freezing big batches of these (1) three (2) soups (3) to keep on hand for quick lunches and dinners. (If you’re thinking of doing the same, I highly recommend checking out this set of affordable single-serving glass storage bowls. They’re my favorites!)
Bookmarking some new soup recipes I’d like to try this fall, like this gazpacho, this breakfast ramen (whaaa?), this spicy chowder, this miso soup,this vegetarian soup, and this magical “healing” soup.
Marveling over this new line of nail polishes. I randomly picked up a bottle before leaving for France, and couldn’t believe how shiny and gel-like the color turned out. And all for $11 a bottle! I’m definitely hooked. (Alternately, you can just buy this top coat to get the same effect with nail polishes you already own.)
Recommending this bottle of crianza. We tried it in France, and fell in love. It’s bold, peppery, berry-y, and insanely good.
Loving this adorable mini-fridge that I saw recently. Whenever I buy a house, I totally want one. :)
Inviting any recipe requests that you might all have for the fall season ahead. What would you like to see here on Gimme Some Oven? Any specific recipe requests? Or more crock-pot recipes? More meatless dishes? More Indian food? More…? Seriously, leave a comment below if you have any requests — I’d love to hear what sounds good to you!

I would love to see a recipe for a fall-inspired cocktail (to be served warm). :–)
YES to more indian food, always! Your recipes nail both simplicity & flavor, and I would love to see those traits applied to indian recipes on the blog :)
I would love to see some Crockpot recipes – something that can be assembled the night before and then cooked in the pot the following day for 8-9 hours. I find it hard to make recipes in the Crockpot without the meat getting dry. I would love to also find a recipe for Chicken Biryani that can easily be made at home. Love your updates and recipes.
I love that crockpot cooking has upped its game over the past few years. It’s such an easy way to cook throughout the week. I’m always searching for reliable slow cooking recipes.
Enjoyed, vicariously, your trip through France. Looks like you and Barclay had a fantastic time. ❤️
Hi Ali! Love your “Currently” Posts! Can’t wait to learn about all the ‘must-see’s’ you discovered with that adorable BF of yours while in France!
As for ideas on what to include on your blog in the near future; I would LOVE to see some quick and easy chicken meals, pasta, kid-friendly.. Really, I’m game for just about anything! It’s just my kiddo and I at home so we’re always looking for something new and easy for a seven year old to lend a helping hand.
We’re also heading into football season, so I always love your Game Day goodies! =)
Best, Kelsey
Hi Ali
So glad you had a great trip!! So jealous :) I would love to see recipes for a pressure cooker. I got one as a wedding gift and am on the fence about donating because I just don’t know what to do with it!!! Thanks. Oh and crockpot recipes. I just made the chicken carnitas last night – sooooooooooo yummy.
Love your blog, recipes, etc. So glad your France trip was amazing! I would love more slow cooker recipes. Thank you!
Would like more easy crock pot recipes EASY
The little cafe pic is my new favorite – hope you have that blown up and framed someplace! You guys are adorable – look at those eyes on both of you! Sounds like it was a fantastic and memorable trip. Hope you got over your allergies quick. Glad you are both back in one piece and look forward to more great posts!
Hey Ali!
I’d love to see more make ahead recipes. I work 7-4 (and sometimes nights too at my part-time job — paying off debt after taking Dave Ramsey’s FPU class!), and need to pack all my food for the day, so I’m always looking for easy things to make ahead and reheat, throw together easily, etc. Although, I seriously make your food all the time anyway! ;) It’s always delish.
