I liked this book. It was fun, fashion-forward, and had everything you'd want in a beach read. I don’t understand the bad reviews. Has no one ever read a Lauren Weisberger book? It gave the exact same vibe.
Blackberry Mojito Sorbet (Small Batch & No Churn)
Since my strawberry basil ice cream is almost gone already (yes, it's that good), I wanted to try making sorbet. With blackberries in season right now, I decided on a blackberry-lime-mint and making it like a blackberry mojito! Plus, since this is a small batch recipe there is no need to use an ice cream machine - you can pop it right into the freezer!
Strawberry Basil Ice Cream
July's ice cream of the month! You know how some flavors just taste like summer? That’s exactly what this strawberry basil ice cream does. It’s creamy, sweet, a little herbal, and just interesting enough to feel like something you’d find at a fancy little café or let’s be honest, on the patio of Jane Adler’s perfect Santa Barbara home in It’s Complicated.
Book Review: Beach Read by Emily Henry
I went into this one with high hopes. The premise had everything I usually love: a beach town setting, two writers with opposite styles, and a summer-long challenge that could turn into something more. But for some reason, Beach Read just didn’t land for me.
S'mores Cookies
If there’s one dessert that screams summer, it’s s’mores. That melty, gooey combo of graham crackers, marshmallows, and milk chocolate is basically a campfire classic. But what if you want all that nostalgic flavor without the smoke and the sticky fingers? That’s where these s’mores cookies come in.
Wishbone Kitchen Heirloom Tomato Galette
This was my fifth recipe from the Wishbone Kitchen cookbook and once again, it did not disappoint. I used a premade pie crust (because life) and swapped in some leftover mozzarella instead of burrata, and it still turned out incredible. Juicy heirloom tomatoes, melty cheese, flaky crust.. this is peak summer food. Fancy enough to serve to friends, easy enough to throw together on a weeknight.
Book Review: Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez
I’ve read and loved several Abby Jimenez books, so I was excited to pick this one up. Unfortunately, Say You’ll Remember Me didn’t quite hit the mark for me. It had some sweet moments and the signature witty banter Abby is known for, but the plot had a few holes I just couldn’t overlook.
Book Review: Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez
I absolutely loved this book. Part of Your World had everything I wanted - small-town charm, great banter, and characters who felt real and easy to root for. The more I read, the more I appreciated how interconnected all the characters in this series are. It makes the world Abby Jimenez has built feel even richer and more fun to revisit.
