Okay, you’ve seen this, but these chocolate covered strawberries. I can’t get over how huge and pretty they were.
And in case you missed it, because I don’t think my post showed in everyone’s readers the other day, you really should give this No Churn Peach Jasmine Green Tea Ice Cream a try. This is me playing with new flavors and loving the result. =)
Books
I was a huge fan of Marianne Curley years ago and for awhile didn’t see any new books until I discovered the Avena series, which starts with Hidden.
In case you’ve missed one of my earlier Weekly Find posts, you should really check out NetGalley. The service is free and you get to request advanced reading copies of ebooks. I’ve read a few books that aren’t published for another month.
Food
I just discovered this blog Gourmantine Blog. How gorgeous are all these photos?
This healthy Strawberry Salad with Grilled Nectarine and Balsamic Vinaigrette has all my favorite seasonal ingredients.
Peach pecan crisp is the perfect way to enjoy your peaches while they’re still in season.

Whoa. Miso in dessert? I’m tempted to try this miso chocolate fudge and haupia coconut pudding macaroon pie just to try a new flavor combination.
In case you want to try the ultimate dip: Summer Fruit Salsa and Pesto Hummus.
I love pot pies and this Summer Chicken Pot Pie Crostata with Herbed Crust looks so amazing.

Movies
If you’re a fan of fairy tale inspired movies and don’t mind a predictable storyline, you should watch After the Ball. A fashion designer who is out to prove that her stepmother and two stepsisters got her fired from her father’s company by giving out designs to a rival company. I actually don’t mind a predictable movie sometimes. It means I always know there’s a happy ending. I saw it on Netflix.
Re-watching Ghost Whisperer on Netflix. It’s soo addictive.

This video of two sisters singing at their sister’s wedding. OMG. Lol
If you live in NYC, you’re so lucky. You can have someone pack the perfect picnic for you.

Have leftover herbs? Here are some ideas for what to do with the leftover herbs.
Your blog is really interesting and I always look forward to seeing new posts, which is why I have given it a follow and also nominated you for the Dragon’s Loyalty Award 🙂 https://lactosefreekitchen.wordpress.com/2015/07/20/dragons-loyalty-award/
These chocolate covered strawberries look so delicious….they make my mouth water….
I have been cutting back on my sugar, but these would just shatter my resolve. My goodness, I would put myself into debt devouring box after box. They look amazing.
I feel embarrassed to admit that I thought The Ghost Whisperer was The Sixth Sense. As in, I saw The Ghost Whisperer written and thought of Bruce Willis.
They’re so yummy… thanks a lot for starting the weekend with a blast 😉
Those chocolate-coated strawberries look amazing. I’m planning a strawberry picking trip soon – might have to give this a try. I’m sure I could earn some brownie points with my wife if I filled a plate with these!
