Madewell Fall Shoes – I’m pretty sure I mentioned Madewell shoes in last week’s edition of What I’m Loving Lately, and I am still obsessed. I might need to do a little shopping this weekend. Favorites: Side Tab Booties, Classic Slip-On Sneakers, and Billie Bootie.

Row & Ride – My new favorite workout! (I found it hrough ClassPass.) The class is half rowing and half spinning (30 minutes of each). I’m obsessed and went twice last week! Love it.

Juli Bauer’s Paleo Cookbook – Juli asked me if I wanted to check out her new cookbook and, of course, I jumped at the chance. I lovvvveee her blog, Instagram, and recipes so much. Her Chicken Bacon Alfredo is still one of my favorite recipes ever.

So far, I’ve tried three recipes from her cookbook and loved them all: Pizza Crust (made with tapioca flour + coconut flour, but everything else you probably already have in your kitchen), Slow Cooker Cuban Pork (again, no crazy ingredients and super easy to make), and Simple Beef Stir Fry (instead of beef and cauliflower rice, I used ground turkey and regular rice, and it still turned out really well).

Just the other day, one of my friends asked me if I thought Juli’s cookbook was worth buying and my response was ABSOLUTELY. I am super picky about cookbooks and only keep a few in my kitchen. If I don’t use them on the regular, I don’t want them taking up space, ya know? But Juli’s cookbook is one I will definitely use often. There are so many more recipes that I want to make, and I haven’t even got to the dessert section yet!

17 Graphs That Are Way Too Real For Introverts – I couldn’t totally relate to this post (maybe I’m somewhere in between an introvert and extrovert?), but some of the graphs were right on and cracked me up.

You definitely don't hate parties:

When My 4-Year-Old Defended My Chronic Illness to a Restaurant Manager – Loved this.

These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins Are Healthy Enough For Breakfast – I knew these muffins sounded familiar! (They were inspired by one of my recipes!) I can’t wait to try this version. Is it Fall yet?

Have a wonderful weekend, friends!!
