The best “brunchitizer” – a fresh-baked chocolate croissant from my favorite Berkeley brunch place, La Note!
Hey guys! How’s your week going? It’s been great summer weather here and I have been lo-ving it. We finished our (wonderful!) marathon of trips and visitors that has been the past month and a half and have been enjoying some quieter times and more cooking at home – the biggest perk of a quiet weekend, in my humble opinion! I’m loving getting back in the kitchen in a big way, especially with all the inspiring summer food out there on the internet. Here are this week’s super-summer-lovin’ Foodie Favorites!
I absolutely love the idea of jazzing up store-bought ice cream with these fancy dipped cones. “Semi-homemade” is always the best approach to entertaining in my opinion!
These avocado and ahi poke parfaits look so wonderful and refreshing. Although I’m not sure I’m brave enough to try to prepare raw fish at home?? Help!
This matcha cheesecake totally has my heart. Two of my favorite things! I just can’t get enough of that crazy-weird green color and awesome earthy tea flavor.
These strawberry cornmeal griddle cakes are pretty much the perfect summer pancake. These scream lazy Saturday mornings to me, and they look fantastic!
This giant potato rosti is basically my idea of a dream dinner. Crispy carbs of any kind? I am THERE, yo.
This grilled apricot, corn, and pistachio salad looks like the perfect combo of flavors, textures, and colors. Un-boring salads for the win!
I am completely craving this classic banana cream pie. Banana cream pie is one of my all-time favorite desserts, and can you believe I’ve never actually made one myself? I think this summer is the perfect time to try, and this recipe looks like the perfect place to start!
Hope you guys enjoyed this week’s round-up! Have the best week and enjoy the lovely weather wherever you are! XO
