Favourite Summer Recipes

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)

Grilled Chicken Caprese Pasta Salad

The Absolute Best Summer Tomato Panzanella Salad (with added fresh mozzarella) (you also have to be a lover of raw garlic if you make this recipe)

Grilled Chicken Club with Rosemary Aioli

Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich with Rosemary Aioli

Heirloom Tomato Toast

Summer Steak Salad

Incredibly Easy Slow Cooker Ribs

Blueberry Breakfast Cookies

Ricotta and Tomato Jam Jar (a Nordstrom recipe)

The Best Ever Banana Pudding (the Magnolia Bakery recipe)

Lemon Mascarpone Sorbet

S’mores Pie (legit the easiest dessert on the planet to make)

Fall Fridays Vol. 8

by Liz Heather in Fall Fridays

BAKING/COOKING

It’s almost American Thanksgiving so that means I’m gonna make my s’mores pie, which is truly the easiest pie recipe of all time.

CRAVING

A hot chocolate with a smidge of toffee syrup in it. I’ve only thought about it in theory, so as soon as the temperature drops below zero I’ll go get one.

DRINKING

Blonde flat whites for life. I’m a creature of habit.

EATING

So I finally went to the new Wegman’s in the city and the best deals? Three pounds of family pack ground chicken for $12. I’m sorry, but that’s wild. Also their $9 frozen wild blueberries family pack, get out of here. Deals for days in there.

EXPERIENCING

I’ve started arranging my saved reels into categories (makeup, funny stuff, etc.) and it’s made my life so much easier. Didn’t even know that was an option.

LISTENING

90s Disney soundtracks. They’re so soothing. Aladdin especially.

LOVING

Nathan did the Gramercy Theatre for the New York Comedy Festival and it was so phenomenal. I understand how you could think I’m biased but I truly don’t see him on stage that much, so when I do I’m usually pretty excited for it. And this tech stuff was so good. He works incredibly hard and I’m so happy that it was such a success.

SHOPPING

I DO NOT NEED MORE CANDLES. So obviously I bought the new chocolate croissant one from Trader Joe’s.

WATCHING

We saw The Shark is Broken on Broadway and it’s hard to accurately express how wonderful it was. It closes this Sunday and I’m grateful that we got to see it. Every single element (acting, script, set) was overwhelmingly good.

WEARING

I’m currently going through my entire closet and trying to arrange full outfits so that I don’t have to think too much about what I’ll wear each day. I’d just love to be a little bit more put together next year - or at least give more of a shit about that stuff. I only started thinking more about this when I realized how much I love putting together my vacation outfits and how happy that makes me, so here we are. Let’s see what happens.

S'mores Pie

by Liz Heather in Food, Recipes

This is probably the easiest dessert you'll ever make in your life. Also, it's probably the best thing you could ever bring to a party.

Ingredients

1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
½ cups white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon baking powder
7 ounces marshmallow fluff
4 whole (1.55 oz bars) Hershey's chocolate bars
1 cup mini marshmallows
¼ cups chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9″ pie pan with baking spray.
In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar together until combined, then add egg and vanilla and stir them in. Stir in flour, graham cracker crumbs and baking powder.
Divide the dough in half. Press half the dough in the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie pan. Evenly spread the marshmallow fluff over the bottom crust. Separate chocolate squares and place on top of the marshmallow fluff. Place 1 cup of marshmallows on top.
Using the remaining crust, pat sections of dough on top of and around all the marshmallows (they will still show through and that is perfect). Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chocolate chips, then bake 20 minutes until lightly browned.
Remove pan from oven and set it on a wire rack. Cool completely before cutting - honestly, you have to wait otherwise it'll be a huge mess. Also, you can make this ahead of time and then put it in the refrigerator overnight and just reheat it before you serve.
