Summer is nearly over (noooo!!!!)!!! Even though we live in Florida, there is something sad about Summer ending. Gone are the relaxed summer mornings with nowhere to drive…. gone are the care-free days at the beach… but also gone is the sweltering heat (!!). I’m not sad about that last one! Well, Labor Day is […]
Over the weekend, I wanted to bake something yummy for a friend that was coming to visit. I love making lemon desserts (evident by this No-Bake Lemon Pie and these Lemon Curd Tartlets and my Lemon Yogurt Cake), so I knew I was going to make something extra special. The problem was, I didn’t have […]
The girls have been begging me for some cookies recently and I thought, well, why not, right? It is summer after all. And to be honest, who doesn’t love a good cookie! So I made these amazing cookies and OMG guys, they’re so so amazing! Soft with a little crunch, deep flavor but not a […]
It’s finally Friday!!! My summer drink game is back in action and tonights dessert in a glass. It’s pink lemonade with as much or as little tequila as you want. You can’t taste it in this so be warned! TGIF!
Inspired by @katieleekitchen ‘s Peach Caprese Salad, this salad had me screaming summmmerrrrr for lunch today. A fresh nectarine, sweet cherries, creamy burrata, soft fresh herbs, topped with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Yummy! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
On July 4th, we had a friend come over with her daughter for a holiday playdate and I wanted to make all the girls a fun and festive snack. All we had in the fridge was watermelon and blueberries, so after a quick search on Pinterest, I decided to make Patriotic Fruit Firecrackers. Now, I […]
Every year on either Memorial Day, July 4th or Labor Day, I make a festive Red, White and Blue dessert. Sometimes it’s a flag cake, sometimes it’s ice cream sandwiches and sometimes it’s a deliciously messy crumble. This year, I opted for a cheesecake I hadn’t made in years (pre-SG days!!). Cheesecake can be a […]
Hot summer weather means yummy, refreshing salads! While I was at the farmer’s market over the weekend, I was able to snag a bunch of fresh spinach, watermelon and strawberries. These are the trifecta of amazing salad ingredients for the summer. So, I threw them in a bowl with some olives, dried fruit, nuts and […]
This weekend, the local farmer’s market reopened. We were able to venture out (carefully masked and socially distanced) for the morning to pick up some fresh produce. I have to say, I was really excited (and nervous, for obvious reasons), but they did such a good job of keeping the vendors far apart from each […]
This weekend is Memorial Day, which kicks off the unofficial start to SUMMER! Woohoo! Well, I used to say woohoo until I moved to Florida. Now, I just plan to stay in the pool for the next 10 weeks. Oh, and make s’mores. But, not the kind of s’mores you cook over a fire, because, Florida. […]
