Happy first day of September!

I can’t believe that it’s already September and that summer is starting to come to an end. But that means that this is the time to savor all those stone fruits. I am bsolutely obsessed with peaches and nectarines as you already know and seriously wish that it could last all year long. So while they’re still pretty readily available, I thought I could share with you yet another recipe that uses peaches.

As sad as I am about the summer season coming to an end, I am excited for all that fall has to bring. Change in colors of leaves, sweater weather, knee high boots, so many varieties of apples, pumpkin spice latte. What are you most excited for this fall?

If you’re visiting San Francisco on a clear night, venture out to the Embarcadero. Sit along the benches outside the Ferry Building and you can watch the lights dance and change on the Bay Bridge.

My sisters and I are headed to San Diego today, and I’m so excited for all the things we’re going to eat and see while we’re down there. If you have recommendations, I would still love them! Send them my way, and hopefully I’ll get a chance to explore a new place.

Watermelon Mint Lemonade

Frozen watermelon blended with freshly squeezed lemon juice and mint simple syrup. This watermelon mint lemonade is refreshing and perfect for the summer heat.

The last few days of August! And I’m savoring every last moment. But at the same time, I’m excited that Labor Day weekend is just a few days away. Do you have any plans for the long weekend?

Heirloom Tomato Burrata Salad

Heirloom tomatoes, burrata, basil, and corn tossed in olive oil, flaky salt, and freshly ground pepper. This heirloom tomato burrata salad is simple, delicious, and embodies all the flavors of summer.

Happy Sunday!

It’s been such a long work week so I’m savoring every moment of today before I have to go back to work tomorrow. I’m so excited for today though! We have plans to go to Fort Point, located at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge. There’s an event this weekend where pianos are placed inside one of San Francisco’s oldest and most iconic buildings. Free concerts in the middle of the day by professionals, and anyone can play the pianos the rest of the day.

We’ve done something similar in the past at the San Francisco Botanical Garden, and I’m sure that this location will be just as fun. Plus, it’s filled with so much history, which I love, and I can’t wait to explore Fort Point since I’ve never been inside.

One of my favorite places in San Francisco is Land’s End. It’s the perfect place to explore the coast, watch the sunet, and take an easy hike along the cliffside with views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

In this week’s finds…

Blueberry Swirled Overnight Oats

Old fashioned oats and chia seeds soaked in almond milk overnight with swirls of blueberry jam. This blueberry swirled overnight oats are delicious and perfect for warm summer mornings.

Happy Sunday!

Is it odd to say that I’ve been looking forward to this weekend because I had absolutely nothing planned? I spent Friday night staying in with a bowl of homemade garlic shrimp vermicelli noodles and a little bit of Netflix. I had a CPR recertification class Saturday morning. And then maybe a walk through Golden Gate Park today, but nothing too eventful. Just a low key weekend. [Read more…]

Last weekend, my sisters and I were at Outside Lands Music and Art Festival in Golden Gate Park. The music, food, and art festival lasted three days. Amazing music, delicious food, and so many things to see. And while we there, we were kind of obsessed with this frose.

No Churn Strawberry Mint Ice Cream

No churn ice cream filled with swirls of strawberries and a hint of mint. This no churn strawberry mint ice cream is the perfect summer dessert.

Happy Sunday!

This past weekend has been filled with events. My youngest sister Victoria won tickets to Outside Lands, a music festival in Golden Gate Park so we’ve been attending it most of the weekend. Amazing live music and of course, delicious foods and drinks. You know that’s really what I’m there for. Lol.

But it’s the weekend, and I think we all deserve a special treat. I thought this would be the perfect time to share with you this no churn strawberry mint ice cream.

Last weekend my sisters, cousin, and I went to the Backstreet Boys concert and absolutely loved their performance, a mix of old jams and new songs from their latest album. But before we went to the concert, we decided that we wanted to go for an early dinner. We opted for an all you can eat Korean BBQ and hot pot place. Seriously, we might have a new obsession. Lol

This weekend, we’re headed to Outside Lands music festival in Golden Gate Park for the first time. Kind of excited for a new experience. What are your weekend plans?

Caprese Pasta Salad

Pasta tossed in a balsamic dressing with sweet tomatoes, fresh basil, and creamy burrata. This caprese pasta salad is simple, delicious, and the perfect meal for summer.

It’s been days since we were at the Backstreet Boys concert, and I still can’t get over the giddiness of watching them live. They were sooo gooood. I would most definitely go see them again. lol.

Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s talk about this caprese pasta salad.
