- On the blog this week, a simple and elegant dessert, a simple side dish, and a flavorful summer salad.

Thank you for sharing, always love to read the thursday posts š
The morning vs evening shower thing is interesting. For me personally, I really don’t like the feeling of going to bed with wet or damp hair. Curly hair can look wild the next morning too. I also read that it’s damaging for your hair and can be bad for the pillows? Morning showers it is for me.
The 99 parenting affirmations were too many for me… I stopped paing attention ca. at 23 š I love the idea though and it’s good to have some of those in the back of your mind.
Our garden is producing cucumbers, zucchini and spinach like crazy – I need to research new recipes to try!
Enjoy your summer!
Thanks so much. I am glad you love these posts! There were a lot of affirmations, but some good ones:) You are lucky, enjoy all of that garden produce. Search our blog, we have lots of good recipes for you!
Caleb and Maxwell fishing is so great to see! And I can’t wait to watch The Summer I Turned Pretty- it’s been a long wait since Season 2. This calls for popcorn.
Yes to popcorn!
Which Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe is featured in the photo?
It’s calling to me!
The Go To Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe in my cookie cookbook, Let’s Eat Cookies.
Made your peach burrata salad dish. So delicious.
I am glad you loved it! Perfect for summertime!
I shower in the morning after the gym, but I also do a quick rinse at night to get the pollen off (thanks, perimenopausal allergies) and cool down before bed.
Perfect routine!
