Best day of the week! Here’s how my weekend is shaping up.
EATING
Making my simple summer chickpea salad — it’s a big hit and I’m prepping a batch for next week. I’m also into my tomato picnic toast right now; it’s bright, fresh, and perfect for warm weather.
DRINKING
Margarita floats are my current obsession. I shared the recipe yesterday and they’re absolutely unreal — light, fizzy, and so fun for summer afternoons.
MAKING
Pulling together pulled pork with pickled peaches for a relaxed weekend meal. The sweet-tart peaches balance the savory pork and make it feel special without a lot of fuss.
BAKING
Deciding between a vanilla stone fruit tart and a ginger peach galette. Both showcase fresh peaches beautifully — flaky crusts and bright fruit are exactly what I want this time of year.
GRILLING
Keeping the peach theme going with grilled peaches topped with lavender honey and ricotta. For something savory, I’m planning a grilled smoked-cheeseburger pizza that’s indulgent and smoky — perfect for a relaxed outdoor meal.
CRAVING
All the tomatoes lately — especially a bloody mary tomato salad with cheddar crisps. It’s crunchy, tangy, and completely satisfying.
READING
I had a reading lull earlier this week but I’m finishing One Last Stop. After that I want to dive into Seven Days in June — both are great picks for summer reading.
LISTENING
I’ve been playing my EVERYDAY DINNERS playlist on repeat in the kitchen. If you missed the link when the book launched, it’s a steady soundtrack for summer dinners and casual cooking.
WATCHING
Excited for Virgin River — so glad it’s back. It’s cozy, easy to watch, and perfect for winding down.
WEARING
I finally felt a real improvement in postpartum recovery around the 2.5-week mark and was able to take leisurely walks again. My On Cloud sneakers have been great for walking and cross-training — very supportive. I’m also curious about trying Hoka ones, even if they aren’t the most stylish. Lately I live in dresses, rotating between a nap dress and my Athleta Presidio dress from last year — comfortable and effortless staples.
LOVING
I’m loving the Organized Money YouTube channel. If you’re into planners, journaling, and practical productivity tips, her videos are really useful. She uses her planner efficiently without covering it in stickers, and her organizational approach feels very realistic and actionable.
SHARING
I shared the Westman Atelier summer skin master class video — it’s soothing and inspiring to watch. I also enjoy the content Gucci Westman posts on Instagram; her tutorials and demos feel calming and creative.
SHOPPING
Not that I need another pair, but I’m obsessed with a new pair of Tory Burch sandals. They’re tempting and definitely on my wish list.
