WEARING

My summer uniform is this tank, these pants or this skirt. Every single day. 

LOVING

Everything in this hot pink color and orange color. I want sets in both of these shades! 

SHOPPING

I’m having such a moment with j crew! I bought this chocolate brown dress (it looks like suede in person, it’s gorgeous), the summer sweater in cream and ruby and the cashmere boatneck. I will wear these nonstop all season long. I also bought a matching julia amory husband shirt and pareo and have truly been LIVING in them. I told you my matching set obsession is out of control!

I love the stylest swimsuit so much and I absolutely LOVE the belt. I didn’t think I’d want to wear a separate piece but it is so flattering and pretty! It just adds something different. I bought the black suit and the black and gold belt! I really want this quick dry button down, but it’s been sold out forever.

LISTING

I made a huge father’s day gift guide based on things Eddie has & loves. One of the things I usually get him and that he loves is a matching swim suit with Max and Jordan!

48 RECIPES FOR FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND

This year’s strawberry salad is out of this world! 

This strawberry burrata salad is dreamy, made with a base of arugula, topped with pistachios and drizzled with a super fresh basil vinaigrette. It makes for a lovely side dish, a starter salad or a perfect light summer lunch. 

Add some toasted sourdough on the side and this meal is complete! 

Two of my favorite things in the food world: strawberries and burrata cheese! Today they are getting married and I’m throwing them a giant, basil-drizzled reception. 

I’m thrilled that strawberries are finally back in season here. We used to go strawberry picking every year, and even though it was 95 degrees every time we did it, it was fun and the kids loved it! There is nothing like a farm fresh strawberry – it is sweeter than candy, truly. I dream of them!

Since the strawberries are extra good right now, I’ve been making everything I can and utilizing them in all the ways. Especially in savory varieties. I adore fruit, but I love it the most when it’s used in a savory recipe. This is no different. 

Plus, isn’t this the most gorgeous salad ever?

It’s super easy to layer too. SO easy. 

We still have some lettuce of course, in the form of baby arugula greens. But the show is all about the cheese and fruit, so I only do a small base of arugula to keep it focused on the other ingredients. I want more berries than greens on this plate. 

Here’s how I make it!

First up, a plate of arugula. Throw on some salt and pepper!

Next, pillows of burrata cheese. Pull them apart and place them directly on top of the arugula. Salt and pepper is good here because it’s verrrrry important to season every single layer.

Next, the berries. Add a ton. Sliced, whole, chopped – however you like them. 

Then, the pistachios. My favorite nut ever, and especially gorgeous with its vibrant green. It is fabulous with the berries too. 

Finally, a dressing of my basil vinaigrette. It’s tangy, refreshing, so delicious, herby and silky smooth. I use the nutri bullet and it comes together so easily and fast. This is one of my favorite summer dressings to use for pasta salads, greens salads or even grilled chicken. (more…)

1. I live for a week when the first of the month starts on a Monday! It’s the best kind.

2. One thing that makes a habit stick.

3. Dying to make these crab legs with garlic butter. So summery!

4. Can’t get enough of the hibiscus trees I planted!

5. Why discipline outlasts motivation.

6. TV things!! I started rewatching The Summer I Turned Pretty because of all the summer feels! Even though there is SO much I want to watch right now. I started The Boroughs without realizing it’s sci-fi and I’m just not sure if it’s for me!

7. This had me howling: tiktok ruined mashed potatoes. Ick.

8. The fact that balloon pants are in style… I was obsessed with them in the 90s but we definitely called them MC Hammer pants!

9. A matching set hates to see me coming. I can’t stop! I love them so much and my current fave is this one.

We’ve been eating bean salads since before bean salads were cool! 

This summer white bean salad is going to become your new best friend. It’s a side dish, a snack, a main dish and more. Make it ahead, pack it full of delicious ingredients and you have the most filling, refreshing meal. 

With all the vegetables! It’s a big feel good bowl of fabulousness.

I am absolutely in love with this salad and it’s pronbably why I can say without hesitation that beans are my favorite food. 

The creaminess? Unmatched. 

A bean salad is one of my go-to dishes to make in the summer, especially if you have to pack some food for the pool or beach. It holds up so well in a cooler and there are so many options – not only can you change the beans, you can change the other ingredients too!

I mean, yes, we all know that. 

But when you really think about ALLLLL the fabulous combos you can make with beans and flavors? It’s mind blowing.

That’s how we ended up here!

Here’s what goes into this bowl! We have: 

Creamy white beans

Cherry tomatoes

Corn, fresh off the cob

Sliced green onions

Chopped cucumbers

Chopped green bell peppers

And a pesto vinaigrette!! 

So much delicious, crisp flavor and texture. Also, can we talk about how green peppers are having a moment in our house?? I rarely buy them because they tend to have less flavor than the other bell pepper varieties. But their flavor reminds me weirdly of my childhood (not that’s I ever would have eaten one back then) – the flavor in salads, on pizza, on cheesesteaks. 

And there is something weirdly nostalgic, comforting and of course, delicious about them right now. I can’t get enough.  (more…)
