…with Parsley! But I’ll spare you the final P.
Happy Memorial Day weekend! I know we tend to associate this 3 day weekend with the start of summer produce, but bear with me – it’s still technically spring for a few more weeks! Apparently something about seeing all the green vegetables pop up at the market this time of year makes me want to throw them on carbs with prosciutto, which I think is generally a good strategy for pretty much anything, right?
Aren’t these weeks after Memorial Day so funny? It may feel like summer outside, but the calendar doesn’t lie – it’s still definitely Spring, for a little over one more week! Don’t get me wrong – I love summer and am happy to pretend it’s here as early as possible – but let’s not rush through the gorgeous foods spring has to offer in anticipation of watermelon and corn on the cob and burgers and ice cream. They’ll still be there waiting for us next week, I promise!
An incredible IPA at my new favorite brewery, Surly in Minneapolis! Touring this place was a highlight of our trip…we Greens like our beer!
Hi guys! Can you BELIEVE it’s August already? Have you been summer vacay-ing it up? I’m doing lots of little trips this summer – Minneapolis with my fam, then Chicago for our friends’ wedding, then a quickie trip out to wine country with some friends for lots and lots of wine. I’m currently in between trip #1 and trip #2, fighting off a stupid summer head cold and hoping to get my appetite back before Chicago this weekend (where it will be very, very necessary)! I have full faith there will be lots of food pics coming your way in any case! In the meantime, here are this week’s Foodie Favorites:
These fig and ricotta cheesecake popsicles are one of the prettiest pops I ever did see! I need to get my hands on some fresh figs before this summer is over.
These sprinkled cake donuts are gorgeous and super nostalgic – these bring back the best memories of Sunday morning trips to the corner donut store to pick up a dozen!
You know what’s better than pancakes with a side of bacon?
Yeah, that would be pancakes with bacon INSIDE of them.
Whelp. That happened. Can I get a #YOLO? Is that still a thing that people say? If it is, I think bacon pancakes qualify as YOLO-worthy material.
(I swear I’m 25, not 75, as that prior paragraph might lead you to believe. I really don’t know what to say re: my massive uncool-ness. I’m sorry?)
