Hello and happy Saturday!
This week on the blog I shared a handful of summer recipes and favorites I can’t stop thinking about. I posted a grilled cilantro lime chicken with peach pico that’s light, bright and perfect for warm evenings. I also made a whipped coconut cream cold brew that’s creamy and refreshing, grilled peppers topped with burrata and crunchy breadcrumbs, and a rustic blueberry peach galette that’s ideal for sharing. There’s a new Summer Fridays roundup up on the site as well.
In addition to recipes, I published a fresh What to Eat This Week guide to help plan meals, plus a new A Week in the Life post where I share how my days actually go — the wins, the chaos and everything in between.
My July Favorites went live this week, including lifestyle picks I’ve been enjoying, and I shared Everything I Read in July so you can see what made the list. We also announced our August book club pick, so if you’re reading along this month you’ll find that update in the post.
Wishing you a lovely weekend! xo
What I’m loving this week:
These Dole Whip Jell-O shots are pure summer nostalgia and a fun party treat.
Southern fried chicken biscuits look absolutely irresistible — flaky, buttery biscuits with crispy chicken inside.
Mango chia pudding is calling my name as a bright, healthy breakfast option that’s easy to prep ahead.
Praline bacon BLTs combine sweet, salty and smoky flavors in an over-the-top sandwich that’s impossible to ignore.
Peach slab pie feels like summer in one glorious pan — juicy peaches and a tender crust.
Sticky blackberry BBQ wings are a bold sweet-tangy twist on classic wings and sound perfect for a backyard get-together.
I adore a vegetarian Zuppa Toscana soup for when you want cozy, comforting flavors without meat.
Garden focaccia is beautiful and practical — an herb-studded loaf that pairs with everything from soups to salads.
Learning how to make vegan butter (including nut-free versions) opens up so many dairy-free baking and cooking options.
Corn and zucchini enchiladas are a colorful, veggie-packed dinner that’s both satisfying and simple to make.
A chocolate Swiss roll cake with marshmallow frosting looks like a show-stopping dessert for any celebration.
Creamy chicken and bacon pasta is comfort food at its finest — rich, savory and easy to throw together on weeknights.
The dandelion bundt cake is delicate and pretty, an elegant bake for spring or summer gatherings.
These picks are a mix of easy weeknight ideas, indulgent treats and beautiful baked goods — everything I’d happily try this weekend. If any of these inspire you, try one and enjoy the sunny flavors while they last.
