Happy weekend! I hope you have a wonderful Saturday, a relaxing Sunday, and a great week ahead.
P.S. Last week I shared a nine-month update about my little lovebug, Emilia. How has it already been nine months? Time flies.
Anyway, here are some of my current favorites and things I’m excited to try.
Favorites
My new favorite breakfast: lavender espresso pancakes — delicate, fragrant, and unexpectedly delicious.
Also on my list: a refreshing shrimp and couscous salad that sounds light and perfect for warm evenings.
I’m obsessed with the idea of a peach maple yogurt cake — so pretty and seasonal.
For bread lovers: a no-knead cheddar jalapeño loaf that promises big flavor with minimal fuss.
Chocolate cravings call for homemade peanut butter cups — rich, simple, and irresistible.
I’m excited about a baked chicken Milanese with arugula — crispy, bright, and weeknight-friendly.
Planning to make chocolate chip zucchini bread this weekend — moist, comforting, and a great way to use summer zucchini.
Also craving sesame-glazed roasted salmon for an easy, flavorful dinner.
The idea of blackberry brownie ice cream sandwiches is pure summer dessert perfection.
And for something cool and refreshing, a classic summer gazpacho is unbeatable.
Finally, these Vietnamese steak summer rolls look incredible — fresh, vibrant, and perfect for entertaining.
