summer fridays

You guys! I can’t believe that this is the last summer fridays post of the year! This summer FLEW by. Like last year, I’m ending summer fridays on Labor Day weekend – more on that below! Thanks for an amazzzzing summer. xo

EATING

My nutty harvest honeycrisp salad! This week my local farm will have honeycrisps and I CANNOT WAIT. This is possibly my favorite salad of all time. Who has made it?

DRINKING

September sangria! Sure, it’s a day or so early, but this is the best sangria to take you from late summer to early fall.

BAKING

My lemon pistachio zucchini cake! It’s full of vegetables. Of course.

GRILLING

This cinnamon sugar toast with figs and ricotta. It’s so good this time of year.

MAKING

All the football food. And you can find another one of my favorite tailgate menus here!

LISTENING

To our 2019 tailgate playlist. How is it that time again?!

READING

Last night, I started reading Paperback Crush. OH MY GOSH it is my tween years in a book. I’m loving it. But! I would love to know what your favorite book of the summer was! I actually think that mine was Mrs. Everything. I am still thinking about it. Not in the way that I still think about The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (best book of my life), but I’m still so taken with the story.

SHOPPING

I reeeeally want to be able to pull off these wedge sneakers. I’m pretty sure that five or so years ago I said multiple times about how terrible I thought wedge sneakers were. Well, here we are, and I want these. But I don’t think I can do it! I’m not cool enough. I love that brand though. And I really want my favorite sweater blazer in leopard print.

DECORATING

For fall this weekend. I am! I won’t start doing all the pumpkin things for another month or so, but you better believe my fall decor is going up on Sunday!

SHARING

A new video for my favorite easy lemon chicken noodle soup! It’s great for the coming months.

BRINGING

Back cocktail Thursdays! Starting next week after Labor Day, I’m bringing my thirsty Thursday drink posts back! I’ve already created most cocktails through September and October and I can’t wait to share. So many good ones are coming up! Stay tuned!

LOVING

How much you guys adored summer fridays this year. It was even better than last year, and honestly I almost didn’t bring it back! Like I mentioned above, this is the last post as I’ll go back to sharing recipes on Fridays after Labor Day. I just love the fall season SO much and have such an enormous amount of recipes (hello, see cocktail Thursdays above!) that I want to share with you. But this has been so very fun all season and perhaps I’ll throw one over on my Crumbs section in the fall!

Def going to be a s’mores filled weekend over here.
