Welcome to the weekend, my friends! It’s been a seriously delicious week spent in the kitchen over here. There are a whole lot of great new recipes headed your way this summer.
Oh! If you’re a rhubarb lover, you should definitely subscribe for emails over here, so that you don’t miss any of those new recipes.
ON THE BLOGS this week: This fried rice with chicken and bacon has been firmly established in our home as the best “unplanned and amazingly delicious” meal ever.
Sweet and slightly tart fresh blueberries are lightly covered in dark chocolate to create an irresistible sweet snack that doubles as a quick and easy dessert too.
Creamy, spicy, pasta with bell peppers and sausage is a 20-minute meal that everyone loves. My family will happily eat this pasta any night of the week.
Anyone who has ever grown their own zucchini knows that before summer is over, you’re going to be looking for new ways to use it. This guide details all the steps to follow on how to make zucchini noodles.
If you know how to cook zucchini noodles you can have these garlic parmesan zucchini noodles ready to eat in just minutes – perfectly seasoned with just butter and herbs or topped with your favorite pasta sauce.
The satisfying sizzle of colorful veggies on a hot grill yields all the fabulous flavor and charring you want in no time at all. Learning how to grill all kinds of vegetables makes summer dinners a breeze.
Fresh strawberries are tossed with sugar and cinnamon before being layered under a sweet biscuit crust to make this strawberry cobbler. If you’re a fan of classic strawberry shortcake, this berry-filled dessert is going to thrill you.
Smooth vanilla ice cream meets the vibrant flavor of sweet, ripe cherries in every bite of this black cherry ice cream. And, the second spoonful? Irresistible.
Sweet, tart cherry filling and a crisp almond topping combine to make an easy and delicious summertime dessert. Whether topped with a scoop of ice cream or served alone, this is a treat that will have you coming back for more.
You need just three ingredients to make these peanut butter milkshakes. They are a peanut butter lover’s dream come true.
What I’m CRAVING: This Sweet and Sticky Char Siu (Chinese BBQ Pork) caught my eye this week and I printed the recipe to try soon. It sounds fantastic!
What I’m WATCHING: Sweet Home Alabama. My friend Lynne was here this week and she’d never seen the movie. (How is that possible?!) It’s one of my forever favorites and I very happily informed her we’d be watching it asap. Fortunately for our friendship, she loved it.
What I’m LISTENING to: Pour it Out Into The Night by The Revivalists. This whole album! I’ve listened to it every day this week and I’m loving it more each time through. It’s excellent.

I watched Sweet Home Alabama many years ago and now I want to watch it again!
