Roasted Strawberry Lemonade on In Honor of Design

Apologies for being MIA last week. I'm not promising it won't happen again this week. The last two weeks have been filled with travel, a bad experience with a tree service company, a dog with a cast and a cone, AND a toddler with a double ear infection. I'm extremely grateful for all of it and grateful to all of you for sticking around. I might be back with a brand new redesign to boot! 

I did share the awesome Roasted Strawberry Lemonade on In Honor of Design last week. I'm kind of obsessed with it and have made several pitchers since I first perfected it. Get the recipe here. 

Feeding Baby | Strawberry Oatmeal Yogurt Pops

Honest mom moment here: Last weekend I let my daughter have a popsicle for breakfast. Actually she had two - because after she devoured the first one I couldn't help but answer her plea for "more, pease". These Strawberry Oatmeal Yogurt Pops were designed from breakfast anyway.

Summer Succotash Panzanella

Succotash is a dish I've been making all summer long - I'm not quite sure why I haven't shared this recipe sooner. Except that  I couldn't really tell you what a succotash is. Besides that is an incredibly delicious and easy summer meal. 

Thirsty Thursday | Cucumber Collins

The Collins is such a classic cocktail it even has a namesake  glass. And I'd be so bold to call the Collins the official drink to wrap up summer - especially this cucumber riff on it. 

{Thirsty Thursday}: Strawberry Shrub

Why, yes, I am talking about drinking a shrub, and, no, I don't mean a plant. I mean the sweet, vinegary concoction that can be made with whatever berries are in your fridge that pairs decidedly well with soda water. Oh, and gin. 

{Thirsty Thursday}: Sweet Tea and Bourbon Slushie

Dear Summer: 

  It is so nice to see you so early this year! I just love sweating before 9 am and not being able to go outside between 10 am and 3 pm. No really, my husband getting a sunburn before its even actually June, is just, well its incredible.
