I decided to change the title of this series since “faves” didn’t quite work as well as “finds.” But it’ll be the same format as before. These posts will feature my latest finds of the week as well as some of my current favorites.
I love how there are so many flavors of ginger ale. You can find these at the Imperial Tea Court. I tried both the Jasmine Tea Ginger Ale and the Blood Orange Ginger Ale. Can you guess which is my favorite? =)
Sweet and tart lemonade infused with fresh cherries and garnished with mint leaves. This seasonal cherry lemonade is refreshing and perfect for warm summer days.
Summer is hereeee! And I’m so excited even though I’m not in school anymore so it shouldn’t really make too much of a difference. But maybe it’s because I’ve been in school for nearly my entire life and it’s deeply ingrained in me to become excited when summer arrives? I don’t even know.
I do know that summer is the perfect time to cool down with a refreshing glass of lemonade.
Tea sandwiches made of marinated tuna tossed with diced tomatoes, celery, and chopped basil. These tuna festive tea sandwiches are great for picnics and afternoon snacks.
Today I’m teaming up with Bumble Bee® to bring you a delicious yet simple recipe that’s perfect for all occasions during the summer.
I don’t know about you, but I remember bringing tuna sandwiches to school for lunch or snacking on crackers topped with tuna after school. How could you go wrong? It was a pretty basic recipe. Usually, it’s just tuna mixed with a little bit of mayo and maybe some chopped celery for that extra crunch. But those are the days of the past. It’s time to take tuna to the next level.
Succulent shrimp, roasted vegetables, and spring salad mix drizzled with garlic buttermilk ranch dressing and wrapped in a flour tortilla. This Shrimp and Roasted Vegetable Wrap is easy to make and delicious.
I’ve been obsessed with using my oven for cooking.
How much easier can it be to place all the ingredients on one baking sheet, season them, and then roast them until they’re ready?
That is, it’s my favorite method of cooking until the weather gets warmer, and the oven makes the kitchen unbearably hot.
In the meantime, I’m going to use the oven to its fullest potential, making roasted vegetables.
I love that this wrap is filled with all my favorite ingredients: roasted vegetable, succulent shrimp, a fresh salad mix, and garlic buttermilk ranch dressing. Each bite is bursting with flavor. You have deliciously juicy and tender shrimp, naturally sweet bell peppers, and the crisp salad.
My sister and I went to browse the Ferry Building in SF. We were addicted to the olive oil tasting at Stonehouse California Olive Oil. And ended up buying a spice blend so that we could make our own little bread and olive oil board at home. I think it needs to be replicated.
Homemade buttermilk ranch dressing seasoned with garlic powder and freshly chopped parsley. This garlic buttermilk ranch dressing is delicious as a dip or on top of a salad and can be prepared in just 5 minutes.
Salad dressings are always fun to try. They’re so flavorful and a great way to enhance your salads.
I’ve made so many different types of balsamic vinaigrette, but today, I’d like to share with you the classic ranch dressing.
Ranch dressing is creamy and so addictive. It’s great as a dip for your vegetable platter or a dressing for your salad.
But did you know it’s super easy to make at home? You can customize your ranch dressing to your taste. And you know exactly what goes in it.
Freshly squeeze grapefruit juice with iced mint infused green tea. This grapefruit mint iced tea is refreshing and perfect for the warm weather.
Grapefruit is one of those fruits that you either love or hate.
Obviously, I fall in the former category.
I love the contrasting flavors of sweet and bitter all in one fruit. And I knew that I had to feature it as a main ingredient in one of my recipes.
This iced tea is not your ordinary iced tea. It’s filled with the refreshing taste of mint and the unique flavor of grapefruit.
It sounds a little strange, right? Grapefruit and mint paired together with iced tea? But it soo totally does.
Spring salad mix tossed with roasted vegetables, heirloom tomatoes, and sweet corn off the cob then drizzled with your favorite dressing. This Roasted Vegetable Salad is simple and delicious, perfect for the summer.
I love fancy salads.
Salads that come loaded with so many ingredients that you never become tired of it. Each bite is filled with a little sweetness, some crunch, and a touch of savory.
Roasting vegetables is so easy to do. There’s not much preparing involved. If you haven’t tried roasting vegetables before, you really should.
Vegetables that are roasted taste completely different. The natural sugars of the vegetables are caramelized and the sweetness is enhanced. The outer part of the vegetables is slightly charred and the taste is a little bit nutty.
I finally got the chance to visit Sugarfina, which I mentioned awhile ago in a previous Wallflower Weekly Faves post.
They have soo much candy. Over 100 different types and imported from all over the world. This was only a small selection that I took a photo of.
Those Champagne Bears. My new favorite candy. If only they didn’t cost a fortune.
You can even add individual boxes to a larger gift box as a present.
One of my all time favorite summer beverage is lemonade. It’s so refreshing, delicious, and simple to make.
It’s even better when paired with fresh fruits.
Hope you enjoy these!
