Summer Fridays, Vol 10.
This week has been all about getting back into real life after our trip! Lots of summer goodness and sunshine.
EATING
On vacation, we took an accidental bread from caprese and I started making/eating/serving fresh tomatoes with goat cheese, basil and balsamic. It’s so good and I can’t stop eating it. If you can find fresh goat cheese it’s even better.
DRINKING
Pinot peach sangria is on the menu this weekend. It’s so light and refreshing. Cajun peach lemonade too!
MAKING
A summer version of my sheet pan gnocchi. Also thinking about this skirt steak with avocado pesto.
GRILLING?
These veggie sliders with goat cheese spread this weekend. I love them and it’s been SO long since we had them.
BAKING
This cheesy stuffed pesto garlic bread. OMG. I’m in basil overload head.
READING
Really excited to start The Last House Guest! I know that’s the opposite of what I like to read, but I’m into it right now. What are you reading this week?
LISTENING
To our new summer chill playlist. ENJOY.
WEARING
I mentioned this in my July favorites, but I’ve been living in this leopard print denim jacket. I LOVE it. At first I thought it was so ugly and then I fell in love with it. I love the cut and it’s just super cute. I live in denim jackets and it’s a nice switch.
WATCHING
Okay I couldn’t wait until Tuesday Things to talk about new BH90210. Did you watch it?! Just the intro sent me into a nostalgia spiral. I was definitely way too young to watch the show when I did (before middle school! omg!) and my parents told me I wasn’t allowed to watch it, but I SNUCK IT ANYWAY which was major rebellion for my first born people pleaser self. I loved the original show so much even if it set up crazy expectations for what my life would look like when I was 8 or 9, haha! What did you think of the new version? It was kind of awful but amazing.
LOVING
I’ve been loving Molly Sim’s youtube channel. She posts at least once a week and I always like her recommendations, plus she shares some awesome stuff for kids too! It’s the best balance of wellness, workouts, beauty, skincare and food.
SHARING
A new video for my brown butter garden vegetable pasta! It’s an oldie but such a goodie. I’m going to make that this weekend too.
CELEBRATING
National s’mores day this weekend. You should probably make these chocolate chip cookie s’mores bars.
SAYING
That I’m officially ready for fall. I KNOW. Sorry! I’m the worst. I will fully embrace all the rest of summer until the third week of September but that doesn’t mean I won’t be excitedly waiting to burn fall candles and wear scarves. Okay, I might decorate after Labor Day, but that’s it. Swear.
Eat all the summer gems this weekend! xo

Don’t apologize. I’m with you. I’m ready for fall too.
Did you mean “accidental break” instead of “accidental bread”? 😄❤️
Yes, I LOVED the BH90210 premiere – cheesy in the best way.
I seriously make different versions of your gnocchi & vegetables like once a week!! I even made it on our flat top grill recently and OMG it was so good! Thank you for this wonderful recipe :)
Awful but amazing is the perfect description of the new BH90201. Not what I would have liked it to be, but I’m going to continue to watch because how can I not??!!
I just finished My Year of Rest and Relaxation and I still can’t decide how I feel about it. On the one hand taking a year to put so many drugs into your body that you sleep with short lucid intervals is a terrible idea, but on the other hand if you take the protagonist’s actions as a metaphor for slowing down and taking the time to grieve when you need to it’s a positive message. So maybe this is a recommendation? I am super excited to read Things You Save in a Fire this month.
We make your sheet pan gnocchi almost weekly! DELICIOUS Lately 1 tray with cauliflower gnocchi and 1 tray with regular! And with pesto!
I cannot believe how many old recipes you are making when I’m assuming you are developing new ones both for the blog and the book! Majorly impressed with all the cooking you do!
(With that said, would you ever consider making a separate list/tag for favorites on your blog? I’m curious as to both a) which recipes of yours are true staples at your house and b) which are the most popular/reader favorites)
Hope you have a good weekend!
thank you for all, especially the cocktails this fine Friday evening, thank you

I always decorate for fall right after labor day. The summer stuff has been up since May by that point, and that’s long enough! ;-) You do you!

ok BH90210 was just weird. and everyone is cheating on everyone already ? and andrea – WHAT ? its like a train wreck but will i still watch…you bet i will !
BH90210 was hilariously bad (seriously, some of their lines like “he popped my cherry” were beyond awful) but, the more I’ve thought about it, the more I like the concept. A continuation of their characters would’ve been boring but this fictional post-show life that makes fun of their real lives is way more interesting. I still think it’s bad but I’ll watch it.
My favorite part was when a fan stood up to ask Andrea a question because she was her fave character on the show. Come on, Andrea was never anyone’s favorite. I’ll swear by it, haha.
P.S. I miss Dylan.
