Summer Fridays, Vol 8.

EATING

Bruschetta chicken (you know, lettuce free!), my green bean salad with blue cheese and this grilled buffalo chicken with scallion corn salad! And caramelized zucchini pasta salad.

DRINKING

It is SO hot here… so frozen gin and tonics and margarita floats are on the menu.

MAKING

Lemon butter pork chops. They are delicious. And this peanut butter and strawberry crumble.

BAKING

Peaches and cream baked oatmeal. It will last all week! 

CRAVING

My salted pretzel s’mores crunch bars. I mean!

SNACKING

On my summer marinated cheese. You won’t be able to stop with this.

GRILLING

My grilled taco chicken with frito slaw. This slaw is unreal. And my summer garden quinoa with flank steak.

PREPPING

My dill pickle chicken salad for a fun adventure today. THE BEST.

ORDERING

I tried this viral tiktok order from DQ early this week. Vanilla soft serve with peanut butter sauce and cocoa fudge! OMG. It was so good. The tiktok also recommended marshmallow sauce on top but I skipped that because I thought it would be too sweet. Delish. 

LISTENING

Can’t quit this 90s R&B playlist. It’s just so good!

READING

I started the Romance Revival and I love it! Here’s my big summer reading list!

WRITING

A calming kitchen reset. How we eat on a beach vacation. And the summer list tell all!

WEARING

I adore these somerset linen pants from anthro and they have so many good colors right now. They are so comfortable and cute! Also love the mini linen smocked dress so much.

LOVING

I can’t get enough of the ideal bookshelf. Oh my gosh!! I got a notebook yesterday at barnes and noble with tons of my favorite books on the cover. Also, you can customize so much! With all of your favorite books?! Yes please.

SHOPPING

It’s the nordstrom anniversary sale and there are so many great things that I have and love on sale! In this post I shared exactly what I have, why I love it and what I want to buy through all categories. The one thing I grabbed are these brown jeans (I still love everything chocolate brown!) and I’m glad I did because they sold out right away. 

SHARING

The summer dinners I make when I don’t feel like cooking. Hello tomatoes!

BUYING

The mackenzie-childs barn sale has also started! This sale is unreal – they have so many classic, gorgeous pieces on sale so it’s the best time to grab gifts or home items. Remember when I went there 10 years ago? I got to witness the barn in person and it’s incredible. This round tray is something I use constantly for entertaining. You already know how much I love the pumpkins!! This cutting board is in my kitchen always and I’ve gifted this squashed pot so many times. Personally, I want this amazing desk lamp.
