BAKING

Can someone please make me this pistachio cake?

COOKING

The best recipes of summer.

CRAVING

An A&W teen burger in a lettuce wrap. Nothing better.

DRINKING

Red sangria forever. I’m not complicated.

EATING

Red snapper and baby scallops, who am I? I swear to god you turn 40 and every fish in the sea becomes sexier.

I don’t look at anyone the way I look at red snapper

EXPERIENCING

My first time at the Millcroft Inn and Spa in Caledon and it was too lovely. I’ve never found an outdoor pool that I don’t love.

LISTENING

Our old Baby Dog playlist (that consists of songs that we would change the words to so they’d be focused around her life and I won’t go into any more than that because the things that couples do shouldn’t be discussed in public).

LOVING

The gluten free sourdough bread from Schar is pretty good at attempting to be real bread - but honestly I’ll take any bread substitution if it allows me to cover it with an heirloom tomato drenched in sea salt.

SHOPPING

I’ve just started using the mini version of the Dr. Jart Color Correcting cream (mixed with Dr. Dennis Gross moisturizer) so we’ll see what happens. It seems pretty great so far.

WATCHING

The newest Naked Gun and it was perfectly all right! My 11 year old nephew loved it and honestly that made me like it even more.

WEARING

I bought the most perfect black evening bag from Simons. Excited to own it for about thirty years.

My two favourites - Marla and my black bag

You can find last week’s Summer Saturdays Vol. 9 over here.

I realized recently that it’s purely because of summer produce that I started to tolerate (and dare I say enjoy) this season. It’s kind of amazing. I think there are only two periods of my life: who I was before I ate an heirloom tomato and who I became afterward. Favourite summer recipes ahead!

White Chocolate Strawberry Scones (but with cake flour and you can sub apricots instead of strawberries should the mood strike you)
