What Made August So Good 💙


Hi Reader!

Can you believe August is already over and we're kicking off the 'ber months? We took a family summer vacation to Martha's Vineyard and it was such a great place to spend time on the water and eat some of the best seafood! We used to live in Massachusetts 9 years ago so it was fun to go back and visit one of our favorite summer spots!

Michigan in the summer doesn't disappoint though. We only live 45 minutes from the lake, 15 minutes from some cool adventure spots, like a ziplining and ropes course my kids convinced me to do, and our backyard was recently updated to give us more opportunities for summer grilling and entertaining!

Another highlight of my month was getting to meet so many of you at the Arabian Nights Festival in Ann Arbor. It was such a great time, and I am so honored that you all came to say hello and get your cookbooks signed.

This month, I've also been busy getting the kids ready to go back to school and decluttering and organizing my house. I’m excited to welcome September, the official apple season! I’ll be posting some new recipes to make our transition into busy fall days delicious and easy.

Kitchen Gear You're Loving!

A high-speed blender is a must in my kitchen. I use it all the time for juices, smoothies, sauces, and even soups. It makes everything so much easier.
