Best of August

What the what? It’s nearly FALL you guys. FALL!

Where did summer go? How did it end so swiftly? I would say I’m sad, but fall is literally my favorite season of all. I can hardly contain my excitement.

Before we jump into a new month, let’s recap everything we did and made in August, starting with eats!

Recipes //

 

1. Easy Grillable Veggie Burgers  //  2. DIY Dark Chocolate Almond Bars  //  3. Vegan Fried Rice  //  4. Spicy Fruit Salad  //  5. Vegan Pistachio Almond Ice Cream  //  6. 30-Minute Cheesy Kale Chips  //  7. 1-Bowl Blackberry Cornmeal Muffins  //  8. Almond Lemon Blueberry Pie Bars  //  9. Peanut Butter Overnight Oats  //  10. Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Pie  //  11. 6-Layer Mexican Pinwheels  // 12. Roasted Sweet Potato & Chickpea Salad  //  13. Coconut Thai Iced Tea

My favorites this month were definitely the Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Pie, Peanut Butter Overnight Oats (are you sensing a theme?), and the Grillable Veggie Burgers! What about you?

What We Did //

• In August we wrapped up a trip to D.C. to visit friends where we explored some new-to-us eats like &Pizza, Zaytinya, and Compass Coffee! Locals, check those out if you haven’t already. So good!

• We also visited friends and family in Kansas and Chicago. Quality time snuggling babies, chasing nieces and nephews, and catching up with old friends was good for the soul (and belly).

• Other than traveling, we were hard at work on our upcoming print cookbook! We’ve reached the final editing phase and will be receiving our first official proofs soon! That means you’ll have details on a pre-sale (fingers crossed) before long. Eek! Stay tuned here and on Instagram!

What We’re Craving //

In September we’re craving an even split of savory and sweet. I’ll be making the most of end-of-summer produce and leaning into fall goodies (think foods that rhyme with “schmumpkin”). Expect entrées, a few breakfast/snack items, and several easy desserts!

Thanks for a fabulous August friends – we couldn’t do it without you. We’ll see you back tomorrow with a new recipe! Cheers.
