Published about 20 hours agoΒ β€’Β 3 min read

Hey Reader!

​

If we were together this weekend, here's some of what we'd be noshing on! πŸ’—

​Strawberry Balsamic Brownies -- Uber fudgy brownies (photographed above!) that make the yummiest ice cream sundaes (full details on the recipe post!). The have a wee dash of balsamic in them...trust me on this!

​Ricotta Salata & Charred Corn Buttermilk Pasta Salad -- My absolute favorite pasta salad that you can throw together today and enjoy tomorrow. I also put my FAVORITE Herby Buttermilk Ranch Salad Dressing on this site (it's so good!!).

​Holy Sh!t S'more Cookies -- This is the ultimate Fourth of July cookie! Two soft, chewy chocolate cookies sandwich charred marshmallows and are then rolled in crushed graham crackers. Scroll down to see a photo!

​My Favorite Classic Crinkle-Top Brownies -- Brownies are the ultimate BBQ companion...in my opinion. Add in some vanilla ice cream and it's pure perfection.

​Any-Fruit Crostata! -- Use the crust and baking method of my pear crostata, but add mixed berries tossed in 1 to 2 tbsp of sugar depending on their sweetness. Again, vanilla ice cream feels really important here.

​Fluffy Fabulous Focaccia -- The perfect easy app with some extra-virgin olive oil and thick balsamic for noshing.

Have I left anything out?! Probably!! I hope you're able to have some fun while also relaxing. The dream, really.

Cheers!
