Hello and happy Saturday!
This week on the blog I shared several new recipes and posts I think you’ll love. There’s a grilled cilantro lime chicken served with a fresh peach pico, a whipped coconut cream cold brew perfect for warm mornings, grilled peppers topped with burrata and crunchy breadcrumbs, and a rustic blueberry-peach galette that’s ideal for summer dessert. I also published a new Summer Fridays roundup showcasing seasonal favorites.
In addition, a fresh “What to Eat This Week” guide is live, alongside a new “A Week in the Life” post that gives a peek into my daily routines and behind-the-scenes moments.
My July favorites are up, highlighting the best beauty, food and lifestyle finds from the month, and I shared everything I read in July for anyone looking for summer reading inspiration. Our August book club pick is posted too — join in if you’d like!
Wishing you a lovely weekend! xo
