Hello! And welcome to Friday Faves!

If you haven’t figured it out by now, the centerpiece of our summer eats here at FoodieCrush are thick, juicy slabs of tomato, and this week has been no different. I’m working through another cache of homegrown tomatoes I scored through a local backyard farmer, and if there’s one thing that’s true, it’s that my tomatoes suck and his rock. This caprese sandwich is 100% proof of it, and was the best lunch of the summer. So far…
Keep this simple tomato and bean salad on tap for extra fiber and protein in 10 minutes flat.
Okay, since they’ve already put the bags of candy out at the grocery store, and announced pumpkin-spiced lattes are on the menu, I guess chocolate chip pumpkin muffins are acceptable, too.
Tired of your standard tuna salad? Try this recipe.
Foil packet dinners are so good and such easy clean up.
Kid-approved, quick and easy, these tacos are back-to-school ready.
Crispy on the outside, chicken cheesy on the inside, these chimichangas are bangin’.
I have a ripe mango in the fridge begging for this recipe.
Easy cheesy zucchini bake. Just try to say “no” to your third helping.
These cold soba noodles easily beat the heat.
If you have a Blackstone Grill (I love ours!), break out this shrimp recipe for a quick and delish din.
This recipe gives zucchini bread a shot of protein with PB!
I’m still on a meatball kick, and these look so good.
These rolls look absolutely decadent.
Double the chocolate, double the fun.
Take a drink of this watermelon slushie that’s thick, icy, and just sweet enough.
I am hooked on these dark chocolate coconut minis and have one most every night while I’m in the bathtub.
The perfect farmers’ market tote for all your fresh favorites aka watermelon!
I need new bed sheets and my husband and I have decided we want the basic, crisp, white sheet you find in hotels, and so I’m ordering these.
And I’ll need these jammies to sleep in whilst slumbering in my new sheets.
These suede mule loafers add the fun twist your fall outfit will be calling for.
This clutch is so clutch.
CB2 is having their August sale with items up to 40% off and there’s a lot of goodness to be had, like:
- These cooler glasses are such a great shape for everyday waters or summer cocktails (and the burgundy color is super fun)
- Okay, I might need this birdbath (but check out how they used it as a drink cooler!)
- Loving the simplicity of this stoneware
- These cheese knives would look great for holiday charcuterie and make a great wedding present. Love their organic tails
- My husband’s favorite cocktail is an Old Fashioned, and these glasses would make a great Xmas gift (it’s never too early to shope when things are on sale)
I’m toying around with the idea of getting a cleaning steamer. Does anyone out there have this one and can vouch?
