Summer Fridays, Vol 15.
It’s our last summer fridays of the year!
EATING
My sticky apple cider chicken! Basil chicken meatballs and couscous. And these mediterranean beef bowls.
DRINKING
September sangria!! I wait all year for this. The best.
MAKING
A batch of my apple cider granola. My favorite flavor of the season.
BAKING
This apple cider donut cake. You will fall in LOVE.
CRAVING
Pumpkin scones with espresso glaze. Obsessed.
GRILLING
Garlic butter breadsticks. Grilled steak with marinated tomatoes. And grilled peaches with burrata!
SNACKING
On my pesto smoked chicken dip. And my caramelized onion dip too!
PREPPING
These grilled corn enchiladas. They are amazing for the end of summer corn!
LISTENING
To breakfast in a Nancy Meyer’s kitchen. Fall vibes!
READING
I just downloaded Big Little Truths on my kindle! Very excited.
WRITING
I shared my s’mores cookie exclusively over on substack last week. It’s blowing up! I will definitely make them this weekend again. And I also shared 10 routines that make our life easier.
WEARING
The best denim shirt to EVER exist. I live for a denim shirt and this is my favorite. I will wear it with leggings, tied over a tennis dress, as a cover up, but this week have worn it non-stop tied over this tank with these pants. The denim and chocolate brown combo is fab.
SHARING
45 recipes for Labor Day weekend! Some of my all-time favorite summer dishes. And great ideas for your cookouts.
SHOPPING
I’ve been waiting all month for the j crew labor day sale!! In my cart right now, I have this double layer cardigan (again, more brown!), this shirt with the ruffle collar, this beaded necklace in the color kingfisher (will this be the necklace of 2026 that the baubles of 2008 were?), these slim wide jeans, the navy suede shoulder bag and of course, a million roll neck sweaters. Love the cosmo pants so so much too. I need to edit this down but how can I choose?!
LOVING
The rifle paper halloween entertaining items are the best! I’ve been using these for years and I’ll bring them out this weekend to start. My kids LOVE this stuff. The melamine bowl is amazing for serving any salads or snacks. The platter is so useful and it’s also adorable decor. I have one of them for almost every holiday. And can we even talk about the ghost notes?!
BUYING
Speaking of paper goods, my favorite e frances paper treats are 20% off this weekend! Oh my gosh, just take a look because everything is SO cute. Not only do I use it myself, but I gift it often too. Kids, adults, everyone! I also want to order a pair of these jeans for fall. They have a short inseam option which is the only way I could do it!
TRYING
Out a new sparkly gold puzzle this weekend. I can’t wait to get cozy for fall and have puzzle and game nights!
CELEBRATING
The end of another season of summer fridays! It’s been almost a decade and these are always my most favorite posts to do. I love sharing this stuff with you guys! It feels like talking to my best friends. I can’t believe we’ve done it for so many years. If you love summer fridays, head over to my substack! I share a similar friday newsletter every.single.week and a monthly love letter the rest of the year that is exactly like this. Thank you so much for being here!

I look forward to Summer Friday’s every year and I’m always bummed when they’re done.
This is one of my favorite series that you do, I always look forward to it and miss it when it’s gone. I know fall is your season with some of your best recipes. Otherwise I might suggest a fall Fridays Series. But then these wouldn’t be as special. Oh and those smores cookies are on my baking to do list!
Until next summer!
Thanks for all the fun shares.
