summer fridays

Happy summer friday! Here’s what’s happening this weekend.

EATING

All the favorites from this post – a round up of great recipes for Father’s Day weekend. Really looking forward to my cedar plank grilled salmon and maaaaybe a flamin’ hot cheetos hot dog. There I said it.

DRINKING

This is definitely a weekend for my frozen gin & tonics! Or my strawberry gin lemonades.

MAKING

My caesar pasta salad because it is such a huge favorite right now. Perfect base for chicken or salmon too. Also dreaming of my amazing buttery lobster rolls.

BAKING

Not technically baking, but use those ripe strawberries in my strawberry shortcake trifle. There’s homemade pudding and it’s dreamy!

CRAVING

All the nachos. Pulled pork nachos with pickle slaw or my street corn sheet pan nachos.

GRILLING

This grilled hot honey chicken with sweet lime corn salad is INCREDIBLE. Words cannot even describe. Also doing grilled shishitos because they are Eddie’s favorite. AND this grilled buffalo chicken chopped salad.

LISTENING

To this father’s day playlist. Here’s another one too!

READING

Currently reading Once More With Feeling! And of course, The Five Star Weekend! Here’s my summer reading list if you need inspo.

WEARING

Um hi, are you in the same boat as me where you want to get absolutely no sun this summer? I have a few rashguards that I love now. Here’s a striped one and another zip-up that comes in black or hot pink!!

SHOPPING

A lot of my favorite things are in the nordstrom beauty sale right now. I adore the vacation perfume – it smells like summer in the 90s. I also love the sunscreen spray. This moisture hair mask is incredible and I use it once a week. Also love the triple waver for wild wavy hair. I also put all of my current favorites in one place here.

LOVING

Emilia has gone to zoo camp all week and they require a strap on your water bottle. I got this one and we all love it. I think I need to get one for each member of the family!

SHARING

Every season I love the capsule wardrobes that Merritt shares. This summer one is absolutely wonderful!

CELEBRATING

We’ve had quite the celebratory week!! We had Jordan and my mom’s birthday this week, then tomorrow is Lacy’s birthday! And Father’s Day this weekend. P.S. I got my dad my favorite grill pan and of course a few things for Eddie that I’ll share next week.
