It’s summer!

I can’t stop shouting it: summer is here. Technically we still have a few weeks before the calendar says it’s official, but after a long winter it already feels like summer in my head. I couldn’t be more excited. This weekend is shaping up to be the best. What are your plans?

Some updates: next weekend I’ll be in Nashville for The Pretty Dish event!

Earlier this week I shared the favorites we’re loving now that Emilia is six months old.

And yesterday I posted my summer reading list — one of my favorite posts to share.

I hope your weekend is hot, sunny and full of fun.

The best things on the internet this week:

Whole wheat sourdough — oh my gosh, I need it.

Brown butter vanilla oatmeal raisin cookies — I might swap in chocolate chips, but yum.

Strawberries and cream frozen cocktail with cardamom and pistachios — yes please.

Six-ingredient sun-dried tomato pasta salad — so simple and delicious.

Turmeric poached egg avocado toast — I’m definitely making this.

Watermelon coolers — exactly what I want to be sipping this summer.

How to create a kitchen altar — a lovely and unexpected idea.

Chocolate milkshakes with fresh blackberry sauce — so seasonal and indulgent.

DIY fruit-inspired storage baskets — cute and clever for summer decor.

Insanely creamy hummus — a must-try for snacks and gatherings.

Avocado, strawberry and mango salsa — bright, sweet and savory all at once.

Secret-ingredient pasta all’Amatriciana — such a tempting twist on a classic.

Three-ingredient chocolate sauce — simple and irresistible.
