Thanks for joining me for another Nine Favorite Things post!
Happiest Sunday guys!! What are you all up to today? I’m spending the day hanging with Kai and Cait. We’re working on new videos for the site and are hoping to bang out a bunch today. Kai was supposed to fly in on Thursday, but the massive snowstorm we had (almost 3 feet!) delayed them and they didn’t end up getting to CO until late last night. That means filming on a Sunday. It’s cool though because working with these two doesn’t feel so much like work. <–love that. Don’t forget to let me know if there are any recipes you guys are dying to see be made into videos. Still taking requests!
Alrighty, I hope you guys are all having a great weekend. Here are some of my favorites for the week!
1. As I’ve mentioned many times this week, my family and I were in San Diego last weekend for my cousin Abby’s graduation. We had so much fun and it’s always so nice to spend time with the fam. My brother Kai ended up taking a ton of photos and I put them all in a post for you guys! You can check out all the details here. <–super fun lifestyle post, so check it out! Below is my favorite photo. Pure happiness.
2. A few places I have been around the web:
…Ever walk into the grocery store wondering what the heck to buy? What’s healthy? What is this or that ingredient? Is this really good for me? Here is a great post with tips from some of my favorite nutrition peeps on how to read nutrition labels. PS. my tip is number eighteen.
…Hosting a late spring/summer brunch? I created one of my favorite brunch spreads for my friends at Crate and Barrel. It’s complete with french toast, caprese eggs, flower cupcakes, and palomas. Get all the details here.
…in need of a good cocktail? Loving these Hibiscus Peach Mint Juleps and popsicles.
3. Favorite outdoor space I’m loving: this beautiful patio of Emily Henderson. Oh my gosh, how stunning is this patio? It’s kind of my dream outdoor space. And that tile?! Dying over that tile, it’s just so pretty. If you need home decor inspiration, Emily is my go-to source. She’s awesome, so check her out.
4. Book on my reading list: American Kingpin
Has anyone read this? It came highly recommended to me and I am super curious about it. I mentioned in my last favorites post, I’d like to try to read a few books this summer, so I’m thinking of starting with this. Let me know if you guys have read it!
5. New videos:Â blackened salmon burgers with herbed cream cheese. Also known as the perfect burger for Memorial Day weekend. Just sayin’.
Also, I did a really fun Facebook Live this week and made these blackberry swirl muffins with honey butter, and this blackberry bourbon smash. You can watch it below! PS. I left the giveaway open, so you still have a chance to win this pretty marble serving board. I will choose a winner Monday morning!
