Friday Faves

Hello and happy Friday!

I swear, there is nothing better than a summertime BLT with thick-cut bacon, the juiciest still-warm-from-the-garden tomatoes, and crunchy iceberg lettuce. Okay, a killer caprese with burrata is right up there too. And corn on the cob. And all the summer eats. Why is eating just so dang good right now? Makes no matter to me, I’m here for it all. And because you’re here, I know you are too.

So let’s eat up! But first, get your fill of this week’s Friday Faves.
