summer fridays

The summeriest of the summer fridays!

EATING

My summer carnitas tacos. Pesto peach pizza. And my summer chicken tortellini salad!

DRINKING

This lambrusco smash when the nights get a little cooler. And sorbet prosecco floats during the day!

MAKING

My summer garden skillet gnocchi. And black bean tostadas!

BAKING

My tomato pie galette. It’s unreal, I promise you! And this almond crumb cake that is also delish.

CRAVING

A big pimento cheese BLT. Oh yum.

GRILLING

These garlic butter breadsticks. And queso crunch hot dogs.

SNACKING

On my hot honey chili crunch dip! And my favorite peach bruschetta.

PREPPING

A batch of sweet potato corn chowder! It’s dreamy.

LISTENING

To my summer kitchen playlist!

READING

I just finished Helpless and it was absolutely crazy!

WRITING

A few mini travel tips.

LOVING

If you love the 11:11 perfume (it’s such a great skin scent!), they just came out with a new 222 scent! It’s definitely warmer and not as skin-like, but it’s amazing. So good for fall, especially if you love milky amber vanilla-ish scents like I do.

WEARING

Unfortunately I fell in love with the viral ruti pants. I got the fall leopard and they are amazing. But I also tried the amazon dupe and they are good too! I like them because they can be dressed up or down. They are just very easy! Add a tank, maybe a sweater or sweatshirt. Simple. And I prefer the amazon brown shade to the original brown!

SHARING

15 great recipes to make before summer ends! I also have some of my favorite summer recipes in instagram videos: summer stuffed shells, summer risotto stuffed peppers, marinated tomato BLTs,

SHOPPING

It’s the gap friends and family sale and I bought so many great fall things! These blue utility pants, these brown satin pants! My favorite sweaters and the rollneck version too! I also had to replace a few toiletry favorites this week, like my shower scarf, this thickening spray, astrolift root boost and the best exfoliating pads EVER. I use them every single morning and I swear they are the best I’ve ever used. I am on jar #6! And this body cream that is life changing. 40K+ reviews!

BUYING

I love supporting our teachers and clearing their lists and if you want to start their year off in a sweet way, grab something from this teacher care package list! I love making a basket of this and putting it together for the teachers.

TRYING

The ninja crispi all week and I can tell you that I am fully obsessed with it. I think it’s the fact that I can SEE the food cooking?! It’s so appealing and I can get a better judge of how long it has to cook.
