The Sunday Thymes
- Did any of you get a chance to make any tomato recipes yesterday? It eventually stopped pouring, so I was able to make it to the farmer’s market after all!
- I accidentally purchased over two pounds of tomatoes yesterday (three days before I leave for Alaska), so I’m going to buy a great loaf of bread today, make bruschetta, and grill up some of this chicken for dinner tonight.
- This gorgeous salad almost makes me forget how much I hate melon.
- How a professional health coach starts her day. I should probably start meditating…
- My friend, Jessica, shared this simple to-do list hack this week, and I’m implementing it immediately.
- These tahini granola bars sound like the perfect snack to bring on the plane this week.
- Healthier strawberry shortcakes! I’m into it. Also, Kate shares a really important tip about buying coconut milk (hint: make sure you’re buying BPA-free cans).
- I’m always looking for the next best blueberry muffin recipe.
- This flavor combination almost makes me look forward to fall.
- I can’t wait to make this chicken, artichoke, and kale soup once the weather cools down a bit!
- Kinda just want to sit by the pool and drink these piña colada snow cones all day…but alas, work must be done.
- Looking for a good book to take on the plane. Share your favorites, pleeeease!!!
Where’d you go Bernadette, The Girl on a Train, and At the Water’s Edge are definintely some of my faves! Love this run down of recipes. Those blueberry muffins look perfect 😉
I’ve been wanting to read Girl on the Train! I wasn’t sure because I felt like it got sort of mixed reviews on Amazon? Thanks so much for your suggestions!!! Also, yes, to those blueberry muffins.
my favorite books this year:
Kitchens of the Great Midwest (I just know you’d love this one) by J Ryan Stradal
14 by Peter Clines
Library at Mount Char (might be creepy to read on the plane though)
Oh my gosh! I definitely need to check out that midwest kitchens book. Thanks so much Annie! Thanks for the heads up about the creepy book too, hahaha!
These two are historical fiction ( WW2) – Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly and The Nightingale by Kristen Hannah (favorite book of the year), I Let You Go by C. MacIntosh (excellent writing), and Man Called Ove by by Fredrik Backman. Have a fun time in Alaska (we love it there when we cruised.)
I love historical fiction, and am always looking for suggestions for those types of books! I’ve heard a lot about Nightingale! Thanks so much Maria! I’m really looking forward to it!
ANYTHING by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Anything!
Ohh!! I’ll definitely look into this!! Thanks Marisa!
