Are you ready for a summer love?
Let’s get our feet in the grass, our shoulders in the sun, our laughter in the air. There is no time like the present! It’s time to SHINE!
I’m armed with a loose knit summer sweater, a color-pop swim suit, some bonkers lipstick, and a handful of beautiful summer recipes (like these Lemon Raspberry Breakfast Rolls). Let’s make this summer living look effortlessly beautiful… even though I totally just spent an entire 7 minutes and 45 seconds putting on lipstick. No bigs. Let a lady live.
I dream of this view at Christmas time. I really do.
This living is good living, indeed.
LOVE!
Cold Avocado Soup garnished heavily with sweet corn, crispy bacon, and spicy peppers.
Treat yo-self.
Call it breakfast. Call it dinner. Call it everything that was ever delicious about dessert!
Strawberry Pineapple Crumble. So easy. So bright and full of summer! Potluck dessert: solved.
Quit it. Just stop right there.
If the mere mention of a Chocolate Malt doesn’t make your mouth water, we might have a problem.
I added extra malt and a burnt banana. Proper.
Perhaps you and your friends are going to have a popularity contest this summer. Who can make the best summer playlist? Who has got the best cannonball? Who can stand the longest on hot pavement? Who has got the most stellar hot dog preparation? YOU!! You’ve got the hot dog situation in the bag with these Pretzel Dogs. On the real. These puppies are magic!
Happy Summer. Put some love all up in it!

Dear lord. Just let me have some of these and then I will die willingly. I assure you when I make these, no one will get a taste. I will sit in front of my TV picking apart each gooey roll and stuffing it in my mouth as I allow family members to look on with jealousy.

I’m pretty sure my son had a “who can stand on the hot pavement longest” competition already. :). Yummy stuff!

Ooooh, summer! I’m planning on doing a lot of wedding planning these next few months! And enjoying being job-less, while simultaneously searching for a job. Yeah. :)

You can have that view at Christmas … in Australia. :-) Summer Christmases are joyous – barbecues, beaches and sunbathing!

In Australia you can have a Christmas with this view. That’s why as an Australian living in London everything in my being is telling me Christmas is around the corner!
Sadly it is not, and frankly it seems like Summer isn’t either.. Go away rain!
P.S I love the way you write your blog, it seems fun.
