summer fridays

Hello summer friday! xo

EATING

My chicken meatballs with zucchini risotto. And broccoli shells and cheese! My hot bacon caprese and this crispy prosciutto and charred corn salad.

DRINKING

My brown sugar fig bubby. And this cucumber prosecco spritz. And my lavender iced lattes!

MAKING

My hot honey tomato crostini. The best ricotta meatballs for the freezer! And a batch of peach cobbler granola.

BAKING

This dreamy chocolate zucchini cake. And a batch of almond butter baked oatmeal.

CRAVING

All the figs. Like my goat cheese stuffed figs wrapped in bacon. Also, summer tomato pie. Nothing better.

GRILLING

Grilled cinnamon sugar toast (and more figs!)! This grilled vegetable panzanella. And zucchini ribbon skewers.

LISTENING

To this feel good friday playlist!!

READING

Hoping to start Real Americans this weekend!

SHARING

All the best back to school dinners. 85 of them to be exact. So many of our favorites if you’re looking for easy meals.

WEARING

My favorite rails dress in this amazing print. I’ve had this dress in many colors/fabrics over the last decade and it’s amazing! They also make the best denim shirt. And the long scuba from lululemon in the best green. Also, look at how amazing the madewell studs and suede stuff is!

SHOPPING

The anthro fall stuff is so, so good. The cutest halloween glasses, the bud vases the mini pumpkin candles. And the halloween stuff from my mind’s eye!! I placed an embarrassingly large order, but a few standouts were these adorable houses, the table runner, the placemats, pink witch hat garland and the spooky era bracelets. I love going all out for these holidays for the kids!

LOVING

I’m also dying over all of the MacKenzie Childs pumpkins this year! The pink! purple! blue! champagne! How can I choose?! There are so many incredible colors. I have ton of their halloween decor and it could not be more perfect for the season. Here are some of my favorite halloween pieces. I’m totally breaking out the fall stuff come September 1!

PREPPING

With less than a week to go, we’re still in major back to school mode here. I put together some teacher care packages (there are my favorite thing!) – I put them in a clear pouch and made a list here of what I put them in. Mini skincare and fun things like that. I also worked on a revamp of our teacher’s lounge at school this week! To say I adore our teachers would be an understatement. And finally, we have a few different lunchboxes this year. The kids are PUMPED. This is all my lunch packing gear.
