Last week still felt like September in name only, but this weekend finally feels like the season to me. Not because the weather has changed much — we’re still dealing with heat — but mornings are a bit cooler and I can already taste apples in the air. After an intense couple of weeks, I’m looking forward to a slow, lazy few days. What are your plans?

If you want a perfect September sangria that bridges summer and fall, check out my favorite SEPTEMBER SANGRIA recipe. Also, last week I posted a short travel video from our Michigan trip, highlighting some of our favorite spots.

P.S. there’s a fun peanut butter and jelly crumb muffin video if you need a quick baking inspiration!

Little loves this week:

Zucchini Parmesan Sliders — craving these nonstop.

Adoring this simple evening dinner — so cozy and easy.

Yellow Watermelon Salad with Pickled Cucumber — stunning and refreshing.

If you’ve thought about a capsule wardrobe that still has color, this is a great guide — yes, yes, yes!

Totally blown away by this Sichuan Peppercorn Blueberry Oatmeal Pie — so creative.

Cocoa Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches — whoa.

How cute is this Smart Cookie Bark?

A perfectly simple Grilled Pluot Cocktail — ripe flavors and easy to make.

Beer Brat Chili — exactly the kind of dish I want as the weather cools.

Who wouldn’t want to try Homemade Birthday Oreos? So fun for a treat or celebration.

These Old-Fashioned Donuts with Salted Caramel Glaze are delightful — classic with a sweet-salty twist.

Found the most gorgeous Tomato Soup — comforting and beautiful.

I even went for White Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust — indulgent fall flavors done right.
