One of my favorite things about summer is all the fresh produce. Peaches + Prosciutto, but make it a flatbread! 😋

@thepeachtruck is coming to Ohio soon so I’m dusting off all of my favorite recipes including this 𝑷𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒄𝒊𝒖𝒕𝒕𝒐 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅! This recipe is incredibly easy and super tasty.

Sweet juicy peaches, paired with bursts of fresh sweet corn, finished off with a balsamic drizzle. This flatbread is perfect for a weeknight dinner and doubles as a weekend appetizer.

Promise me you’ll try this recipe sometime this summer?? 🍑🌽🙌🏼

Hot summer days like today call for a tasty berry

Hot summer days like today call for a tasty berry summer treat!! Insert these Honey Roasted Strawberry Cheesecake Pops made with freshly picked strawberries! 🍓😋

𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦:
2 cups strawberries, sliced
2 tbsp honey
1 cup of granola
2 tablespoons butter, melted
@haagendazs_us Strawberry cheesecake ice cream

𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀:
Graham cracker crumbles
Melted white chocolate

𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦:
If you don’t want to make your own fresh strawberry purée, pick up your favorite strawberry preserves and skip to step 3. If you’re willing to put in the work, here’s how it is done...

1. Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Toss sliced strawberries with honey and spread evenly over baking sheet. Bake 15-18min or until strawberries are tender.

3. While strawberries are roasting, pull ice cream out of the freezer to allow it to soften a little on the counter. This will make it easier to handle when forming your popsicles.

4. Remove 🍓 from oven and allow to cool completely. Once your roasted strawberries are cooled, place them in a food processor, and purée until smooth.

5. In a small bowl, mix together granola and melted butter.

—𝙰𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚖𝚋𝚕𝚢—

6. Using small paper cups (mine were from Target dollar spot), place a couple of tablespoons of granola mixture on the bottom. Gently mold to bottom of the cup.

7. Spoon a layer of strawberry cheesecake ice cream into each of your cups - filling each cup about half way up.

8. Next layer about 1 tbsp of honey roasted strawberry puree over top of each ice cream layer. Swirl with a toothpick, and then top each with another layer of ice cream.

9. Place a popsicle stick in the middle of each prepared popsicle cup and set in the freezer overnight.

10. When you’re ready to eat, simply peel or gently cut away the paper cup liner, drizzle with melted white chocolate and dust with graham cracker crumbles.

Hakuna Mimosa — it means it's brunch time!!🥂🍊

It’s going to be 72° and sunny in Ohio today, which has me feeling all kinds of bubbly.☀️

But I’m mostly excited about it is time to start hosting events again such as big boozy brunches. Hellllllo Mimosa Bars! 🙌🏼

Here’s what you need to setup your own Mimosa Bar:

𝗕𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗹𝘆– I prefer Mionetto Brut or Mionetto Extra Dry Rose on ice @mionettoproseccousa

𝗙𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵 𝗝𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 – Offer a variety of different chilled fruit juices

𝗚𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 – Clear serving glasses. If you host a lot like me, then it’s worth the investment to buy a couple dozen Milk Glasses. Otherwise, plastic flutes work just as well and are easier for cleanup.

𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 – Everything looks better with a garnish. Whether it is greenery placed in the glass, fruit added to the rim, or extra fruit dropped in to soak up some bubbly – it all makes for an aesthetically appealing mimosa.

Cheers!! Hope y’all have a good weekend! 🍾

Y’all blew up my DMs last night after I shared the video of these 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝘽𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙨. I’m flattered that you thought I ordered this from a restaurant! 🙌🏼

These 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝘽𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙨 are a great, filling meal made with fresh veggies, oven roasted potatoes and chickpeas, and homemade lemon herb chicken. Top with a scoop of tzatziki and hummus for a delicious lunch or dinner!

“You don’t have to have it all figured out to

“You don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward.” This type of advice typically comes from a mom...

Well guess what? I certainly don’t have it all figured out, but my Mother’s Day options are LIVE and they are ON MY ONLINE ORDER FORM!! 🥳 This form has been a long time coming and has posed many challenges, but it’s finally live.

There are 3 options available; Small, Medium, and Large. Each board comes with small bag of crackers. Honey, jam, and extra crackers are available to purchase.

Right now Mother’s Day options are the only products you’ll find in the store, but there is a FAQ page that is worth checking out!

Now head to my order form and go spoil your mom! Please please let me know if you run into any issues. 💕

I often get asked my favorite items to shop at Trader Joe’s. Well you’re looking at one of my top 10 right here! I LOVEEEE this Meyer Lemon Cake!🍋

Perfect for Mother’s Day Brunch, Shower season, or just your run of the mill Saturday.

I like to add a little extra lemon zest before baking to enhance the lemon flavor. You could even add fresh blueberries or raspberries in the cake before baking.

It’s a seasonal item so snag it while it’s on the shelves and save it for later. Have you tried this cake?

Aside from cheese, tacos are my love language. These 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙨 𝙏𝙖𝙘𝙤𝙨 come together in just 10 minutes and bring some heat with these toppings.
