It’s the last weekend of summer — how did that happen? I’ve been enjoying all the tomatoes and sweet corn this week and feel satisfied, ready to shift into fall produce like squash and pomegranates. It’s a delicious transition.
What are your plans for the weekend? Toasting the season with one last glass of ice-cold rosé?
If you need an easy late-summer dinner idea, I shared a short video of my pesto bucatini topped with creamy burrata — super simple and so tasty.
Also, a quick update on life with a 21-month-old — time flies!
What I’m loving this week:
These funfetti cruffins blew my mind — seriously, confetti-flavored croissant-muffins are everything.
Salted maple caramel is ridiculous in the best way — rich, buttery, and perfect for drizzling.
Slow-roasted tomato and basil hummus looks incredible and feels like a perfect late-summer snack or spread.
Cold-brew shaved ice (with a boozy twist) is a brilliant, refreshing treat for these warm days.
Who wouldn’t want corn and cheddar waffles topped with avocado? Savory waffles are a delicious turn.
Brazil nut cookie dough cups are calling my name — such a fun, indulgent snack.
Tomato-braised eggs with baked polenta offers cozy comfort without being fussy — ideal for transitioning seasons.
Seafood fried rice sounds like a flavor-packed, satisfying meal that’s worth trying.
A fall green smoothie made with seasonal ingredients is a perfect addition to the rotation for a lighter breakfast or snack.
Zucchini donuts with a vanilla-espresso glaze (vegan and gluten-free options included) are a must-try for donut lovers looking for something different.
Late-summer yogurt bowls topped with olive-oil granola combine bright fruit with a crunchy, savory-sweet granola — definitely trying that granola soon.
A slice of double chocolate zucchini bread would be a delightful treat right now — moist, chocolatey, and secretly sneaking in some veg.
And finally, it’s cider season — bourbon maple apple cider feels like the perfect cozy cocktail to welcome cooler nights.
