Happy summer friday! Here’s what’s happening this weekend.

EATING

These puff pastry hot dogs which are freakishly good. My summer BBQ chicken pizza on the grill. Cilantro lime salmon and rice is also on repeat. Also these crispy broccoli cheese tortilla pizzas are on repeat for lunch.

DRINKING

This fresh cherry vodka soda! The cherries are SO good right now. Also loving my strawberry summer water right now. So refreshing.

MAKING

My strawberry balsamic pasta salad! And this summer stone fruit couscous salad – one of my all-time summer favorites.

BAKING

My lemon almond pudding cake. It’s so wonderful. Also really want to make some of my lavender vanilla latte ice cream!

CRAVING

My hot crab dip with old bay crostini. Oh my word. See also: my hot lobster dip.

GRILLING

These grilled buffalo chicken sandwiches. My grilled broccoli crunch salad.

LISTENING

To this Tina Turner radio playlist. It’s been on repeat and is so good.

READING

Right now I’m reading Jill Shalvis’ The Sweetheart List! Find my whole summer reading list here.

WEARING

This tennis dress is sooo cute – built in bra, shorts, you can wear something over it – it feels like butter! So cute, so many colors and super comfortable. I am also currently obsessed with the hoka bondi 8. Best supportive walking/workout shoe ever. I have had a few other pairs of hokas and they’ve been fine but these are unreal.

SHOPPING

Also, I am a sucker for the soft, faux vintage sweatshirts. I’ve got them from abercrombie but that makes me feel like I’m back in highschool, I love the show me your mumu ones (softest ever) and these super cute ones from anthro are my newest pick!

LOVING

Elin Hilderbrand’s new podcast Books, Beach and Beyond. This week they had Taylor Jenkins Reid on and I loved it.

SHARING

This divided snack tray is the best way to serve snacks outside to the kids. It’s incredible and portable too. My all-time faves are the pampered chef cool and serve trays with the ice packs. But these come in a close second!

CELEBRATING

We have a big family birthday coming up and I’ve bought yet another aura frame for the gift. This is the BEST gift ever, especially if it’s a close family member. Almost everyone in our family has one and it is so fun to add photos and see new photos from other family come in.
