Favorite Memorial Day BBQ Recipes!

  • Here’s a simple, refreshing, summertime Watermelon Salsa recipe!

fun shopping finds

Fun Shopping Finds:

  • Stop everything and go to the Banana Republic Outlet website to find an amazing sale! I got four items (a black linen dress, a white denim skirt, a mini skirt and some chino shorts all for a grand total of under $100!) The great thing about this website is that there are a lot of lovely, classy outfits for all ages.
  • Here’s a super cute top for summer!
  • I bought this dress in snorkel blue (sale!)
  • These light, summery pants were so inexpensive and comfortable that I bought them in both blue and black (sale)!
  • These socks are seriously the most comfortable socks ever. They’re perfect for walking because there is a nice thickness to them.
  • I’m kind of obsessed with that thick gauze material that is everywhere, so I picked up a pair of gauze shorts. I figured they’d be good for the beach.
  • I’m not sure I’d use the belt, but I do love how light and summery these pants look (sale).
  • Pineapple Drop Earrings would be super cute for a tropical vacation or summer party.

What I’m watching and reading:

  • I watched Jennifer Garner’s new series: The Last Thing He Told Me on Apple +. My husband watched it with me, and we both enjoyed the story. It was based on a book by Kristin Hannah.
  • I’m still finishing up Demon Copperhead (and loving it), but I know what I’m going to listen to as soon as I’m done. The true crime podcast: Redhanded was highly recommended to me by a friend. That’s what’s up next for me!

Must Make Recipes

Fun Recipes I’ve spotted on the internet this week:

personal updates

Here’s what’s going on in my life:

  • Honestly, I had a pretty boring week. I worked nonstop to try and get ahead for some upcoming vacation. If you’re wondering what kind of work I have to do… well, it’s coordinating with my photographers, recipe development, writing recipe posts for my three websites, answering comments and emails from readers, and handling/scheduling all of my social media. I absolutely love my job, but it’s a lot sometimes. What makes it all worthwhile is the nice comments and emails I get from readers!
  • My husband and I went to a baseball game: Red Sox vs. Diamondbacks. There were many more Red Sox fans at the game than Diamondbacks (and we saw it in Arizona). Red Sox beat them. Yay!

Food News

Catch up on food-related news of the week:

Products I'm Loving

Products I’m loving:

My son Brooks is in Europe with some buddies celebrating his college graduation. So I’m sharing a bunch of travel goodies that he picked up before he left.

  • He bought this travel backpack with a daypack clip-in attachment. Brooks did a ton of research on backpacks before he bought this one. The backpack is a good size, and it fits in the overhead completely stuffed. The clip-on daypack attachment fits under the seat.
  • Since he’s only traveling with a backpack, I suggested he get these compression cubes to help save space.
  • He bought a set of locks that he will use to lock the zippered compartments on his backpack (since he’ll be on the train and staying in hostels).
  • Since he’ll be on trains, he bought a bike lock so he can lock his backpack to his seat in case he falls asleep on the train!
  • He bought some small laundry detergent packets to bring with him)
  • This passport holder that you wear around your neck and under your clothes will help him keep his passport and money safe.
  • A collapsible water bottle saves room in the backpack.
  • A blow-up neck pillow also saves room!
  • And, of course, European adapters are a good idea too.
  • Another suggestion from me was to bring a portable iPhone charger in case he’s not in a place where he can find a plug.
  • Look for Crunchy Chili Onion Hummus at Trader Joe’s. YUM.
  • Look for Costco’s 4-Berry Pie. I hear it’s delicious!
