Summer Saturdays Vol. 2

by Liz Heather in Summer Saturdays


BAKING

These blueberry breakfast cookies are insanely good. I keep them in the fridge because I love a cold cookie in the morning.

COOKING

I’ve been baking a lot of salmon lately - nothing too special. I top it at the end with a garlic/soy sauce/maple/mustard glaze and I haven’t grown tired of it yet.

CRAVING

Two things mainly: June strawberries & lap swimming. I don’t ask for much.

DRINKING

When I was in Turks and Caicos earlier this year, I had the same lunch smoothie each day from a place in town and we’ve made it here at home almost 100 times since then it’s so good. Almond milk, chocolate protein powder, green apple, honey, peanut powder, cocoa powder, frozen banana & ice. Heavenly.

EATING

I’ve been slow-cooking the garlic & peppercorn pork tenderloin from Trader Joe’s and making spinach wraps (which is just spinach blended with eggs and then pan fried to resemble a tortilla) with feta for lunch this week.

EXPERIENCING

So happy to have seen the New Jersey town where the original Friday the 13th was filmed so many years ago.

LISTENING

I went mad with organizing all of my playlists on Spotify, so this week it’s the 1970s that's on repeat at the moment.

LOVING

My dad turned 102 this week (!), which is obviously incredible.

SHOPPING

Repurchased my favourite coffee beans (hazelnut creme) from San Francisco Bay Coffee.

WATCHING

I’m in the middle of a rewatch of Downton Abbey, which has been great because it’s been so long so I’ve forgotten most of it. Poor Edith.

WEARING

I’m still living in these Target wedge heels. Best thing I’ve bought all year, by far.

You can see last week’s Summer Saturdays Vol. 1 over here if you like.

Summer Saturdays Vol. 9

by Liz Heather in Summer Saturdays


Welcome to the final Summer Saturdays! Yes, I missed the last two weeks of this series but all we can do is move forward. I know that summer technically ends in a few weeks, but this year it’s over for me as of August 31st (today). Autumn will start as usual on September 22nd, but I would like the first three weeks on the month to remain seasonless. I can decide that, right? I have no desire to prolong summer and I refuse to start buying pumpkins. I intend to use this period of time to focus on myself and myself alone. The most self-involved three weeks I can imagine. But for now, here’s how my final week of summer went.

BAKING

These bran muffins are so incredible with added blueberries.

COOKING

Corn-on-the-cob is perfect right now, so it’s the only reason I turn on my stove these days.

CRAVING

One final lap swim of the season.

DRINKING

Nathan got this peanut butter coffee that’s actually delicious.

EATING

I had this perfect baked haddock when we were upstate that I’m still thinking about.

EXPERIENCING

Jeez, so many things have happened in the past few weeks. My dear friend Marla came to visit me and we had such a great time. Nathan and I also went to Cooperstown, NY this week, which was last minute but so nice. (There are highlights from that trip over here.)

Marla!

LISTENING

Since there was a roadtrip, I made this playlist for the drive.

LOVING

The gluten-free restaurant Thyme & Tonic on the upper west side. The noodles and the popcorn chicken were unholy.

Noodles from Thyme & Tonic

SHOPPING

The autumn candle trio from Bath & Body Works.

They always know how to take my money

WATCHING

Saw Longlegs in theatres and Nic Cage was great (duh). Love an original horror movie. My only notes? Legs could’ve been longer.

WEARING

I will continue to dream about this Dior skirt.

The previous Summer Saturdays Vol. 8 can be found over here and I have a summer highlights section over here.

Thank you for caring about any of these summer posts! I’ll likely be back for Fall Fridays on September 27th.
