So here it goes: following are 10 things to share with you this week- everything from recipes to shopping to a few fun articles and more. There are a few affiliate links included here and there. Enjoy!
Best Salads Made With Berries!
- This Triple Berry Salad with Sugared Almonds is the perfect summer salad. Mixed greens are topped with three kinds of berries, gorgonzola, avocado and sugared almonds. It’s tossed with a simple strawberry balsamic vinaigrette.
- Kiwi Berry Salad with Raspberry Poppy Seed Dressing bursting with kiwis, fresh berries, pistachios and feta will let you cling to summer just a little longer!
- Arugula, Berry and Goat Cheese Salad is a delicious summer salad recipe.
- Berry and Bacon Kale Salad with Blackberry Jam Vinaigrette is an excellent kale salad!
- This Strawberry Melon Salad with Watermelon Vinaigrette is an adult-loving, but kid friendly salad because just about everything in it is something that most adults and children will happily eat.
- Blueberry, Blue Cheese and Glazed Walnut Salad is a most wonderful spring and summer salad recipe.
- This Watermelon-Strawberry Caprese Salad is the perfect summer salad!
Fun Shopping Finds:
- What a gorgeous summer dress!
- I bought this top in red. It’s much cuter on than in the photos (sale).
- I love this fringy top (in three colors!)
- These are some classic pants that are good to wear to summer parties.
- Look at the sleeve detail on this adorable summer sweatshirt!
- I bought these flip flops the other day. Love the embellished detail, and they’re so comfortable!
- Here’s a super cute summer top.
- These skorts are adorable. I love how it looks like a mini skirt in the front and shorts in the back!
Instagram accounts to follow:
- I love a good male Instagram account, and @FitMenCook is one of them!
- Follow @PinchOfYum for great food videos and recipes.
What I’m watching and reading:
- Bridgerton fans, you should also watch Queen Charlotte on Netflix. I loved the backstory of this favorite character from Bridgerton!
- I’ve been listening to Rough Draft by Katy Tur (a memoir). This is a book that is very easy to listen to. Katy has an interesting story to tell (she’s a well-known reporter who is married to another well-known person) about her childhood, her bizarre father and her rise to success.
Fun Recipes I’ve spotted on the internet this week:
- What do you think of a Blueberry Grilled Cheese Sandwich? It sounds good to me!
- Love this easy recipe for Slow Cooker Beef Ramen.
- We must try Secretly Healthy Cookie Dough Cups!
- Save this Red, White and Blue Jello Shots recipe for 4th of July!
Here’s what’s going on in my life:
- I mentioned last week that we had a vacation in San Diego. We stayed at a VRBO condo in Del Mar that was perfect. It was a two-minute walk to the beach. We enjoyed our time there so much that we extended our stay for two nights to stay in the beach bungalow at the Del Mar Beach Hotel (an amazing property). The week was full of eating at great restaurants and drinking the best wine. We re-connected with old friends, visited with family and went to two events at The Belly Up Tavern (a concert by Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs and a comedy show by Adam Carolla). On our last night, we went to the San Diego County Fair and saw Train in concert too. And now I’m working on losing the few pounds I gained on this wonderful trip. No problem!
Catch up on food-related news of the week:
- New cookbook release > Williams Sonoma Everyday Italian Cookbook: 90+ Favorite Recipes for La Cucina Italiana by Domenica Marchetti. I love Italian food, so I’m excited about this one. Celebrate Italian cuisine with more than 90 recipes for authentic, carefree dishes perfect for small gatherings and everyday meals with friends and family.
- Here are 58 cult-favorite items to try at Aldi supermarket.
- There’s a beer being made specifically for Beer Can Chicken: Beer Can Chicken Beer!
- Dairy Queen is discontinuing a favorite menu item.
Products I’m loving:
- It’s that time of year, so I must share my favorite popsicle molds. Everyone loves homemade popsicles in the summer months!
- And if you’re going to have popsicle molds, then you must have a popsicle cookbook!
- Look for Lemon Meringue Cheesecake at Costco. Yum!
- Do you have someone who is a nail or cuticle biter in your life? This stuff works wonders for helping them stop.
- This is a super fun outdoor game for summer, and it’s fun for camping or the beach too.
- Look for Sprinkles Teeny Tiny Tomatoes in the produce section at Trader Joe’s. They’re adorable, and they’re sweet and yummy!
- Planning a road trip this summer? Our son loved playing the license plate game (it kept him busy) using this book to record all of the license plates he spotted on our journey!
- These sticker by number books are also great for travel in a car or on a plane. I think they’d even be good to keep kids busy at a restaurant.
Bake cinnamon rolls this week!
- This recipe for Old Fashioned Cinnamon Rolls makes enough for a small crowd, so plan accordingly. We actually didn’t have a small crowd around at all when I made these, but we managed to eat all of them anyways. They’re hard to resist!
- This No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls recipe is one that is plenty acceptable for a cinnamon roll, and it’s kind of a cool option for those who fear baking with yeast.
- Make Ahead Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect choice for making on the weekends and on special holiday mornings!
