…dessert pizza was my college jam, and I’m ashamed to admit my girls have made it this many years without trying s’mores pizza. An oversight we've officially corrected. 🍫🍕 #smores #dessertpizza #pizzaathome #backyardparty #fallideas

A dreamy fall backyard 🤝 the number 1 smokeless fire pit And a sale?! Our @SoloStove Summit 24 has quickly become one of our favorite hangout spots. And pairing it with the Surround for a little extra peace of mind? Quite literally the perfect setup. If a backyard oasis is on your fall wishlist, I…

three ingredient meringue ghosts are about as spooky as we get over here. Well, those and Scout 🐾 Bonus: they're ridiculously easy. You’ll need: ✨6 egg whites (room temp) ✨ 1½ cups sugar ✨½ tsp cream of tartar Grab some sprinkle eyes and melted chocolate too if you want to add the little faces ✨…

If you need me before kickoff, I’ll be over here taking the snack lineup very seriously. 🏈🧀 Here's our line up: ✨Hot honey pepperoni dip ✨ Brat + cheddar bites ✨A classic cheese board ✨ Caramel apple cheesecake dip Very little actual cooking, but a whole lotta yum. Stopped into Fareway for these…

...because adding toppings makes everything a party 🍎 #applecider #appleciderdonuts #fallparty #fallhosting #fallideas🍁🍂@STAUB USA

Those brief few minutes of calm between running from one activity to the next? Ya, protect that at all costs. Find me with a hot cup of @Lipton Tea to reset and recharge before bouncing back out the door. #liptonpartner #hottea #fallreset #fallvibes #teaseason #blacktea

...because my sous chefs are unreliable and my cookware cannot be 💕 The @henckels_usa cookware has quickly become one of those “grab it without thinking” staples around here. A hybrid-cookware with ceramic coating made without forever chemicals, tri-ply construction for even heating, and very…

The most humbling part of adulthood is realizing our parents were right. We do, in fact, have food at home. ...and we’re making CAVA bowls with it. #cava #meditteraneanfood #backyardparty #easydinnerideas #grillingseason #cavabowl @Brightland #organicvalleyambassador

The very best time of year ❤️🏈 #footballfood #gamedayfood #bratwurst #smoresdip #homemadepizza #fallhosting #backyardparty #backyardinspo

One thing we’re gonna do is fully commit to a theme. 🍂 Hosted everyone for a little pumpkin decorating party, which obviously called for snacks. Broke out our favorite @Watkins seasonal spices for the occasion and can confidently say these treats were a hit: ✨pumpkin chocolate chip muffins…

...because family time doesn't need to be overcomplicated 🔥 Turns out the @SoloStove Summit 24, something sweet to roast, and nowhere else to be is a pretty solid recipe for getting everyone in one place. A few highlights we loved: ✨It's smokeless! ✨Really easy to get going with their starter gel…

if I’m gonna cave and acknowledge fall early, it’s gonna be for these pumpkin cheesecake danishes. Fun fact: my oldest once insisted on a fall-themed birthday party. 😂 I'm very much a “cling to summer as long as possible” type…but these three have slowly been sneaking pumpkin-themed everything…

creamy apple cider slushies it is…because if September won’t act like fall, we’ll improvise. 🍎 Maple cinnamon cold foam: Whip 1/2 cup heavy cream with 1–2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/4 tsp cinnamon + a pinch of flaky salt #f#falldrinksa#appleciders#slushiesf#fallpartybackyardparty #organicvalleyambassador

…because sometimes 3:30 just needs a little zhuzh. The after-school snack rush is very real, so we decided to commit. Taco pinwheels made with @Watkins Taco Seasoning, cinnamon apple fries with their Ground Cinnamon, pretzel rods dressed up with their artificial dye-free Rainbow Sprinkles and Food…

I discovered that if you toast charcuterie over a fire, people become *very* interested in charcuterie. Ad | And I’m not saying savory s'mores solved the summer vs. fall debate....I’m just saying nobody was asking questions once these hit the table. Start with @eatmiltons Gourmet Crackers if you…

Turns out the secret to making a random weeknight dinner feel a little fancy is… using the good stuff on a random weeknight. 🙌 Pan-seared chicken, creamy Dijon sauce, and @henckels_usa Paradigm cookware doing the heavy lifting. (Because there's an argument that during the week is when you actually…

Y'all know I'm a sucker for a good celebration... School's finally out for summer and that feels like as good a reason as any, right? This backyard pizza bar and movie set up is SO easy (which... we need after the May madness). @eatmiltons Cauliflower Crust Pizzas make it even simpler. Just throw…

Blueberry’s last stand. We had a good run. 🫐 #blueberrylatte #morningcoffee #coffeeathome #longlivesummer #coffeerecipe #organicvalleyambassador

A pre-preschool pancake party for our littlest love! The most fun way to say goodbye to to summer break 💕 #pancake #backyardparty #partyideas #pancakeday #pancakerecipe #organicvalleyambassador

I’ve decided August has a bit of an identity crisis. Ad| And nothing against fall… but we’re sticking with summer through Labor Day over here. Pool days, backyard BBQs, and late-summer evenings are kind of magical. And if there’s a pitcher of @Lipton Tea iced tea nearby, even better. August…

I feel like they're trying really hard to convince us it's fall, but that feels a little...premature? Don't get me wrong, LOVE fall, but love late summer first 💕 #longlivesummer #summerparty #augustvibes #backyardparty #summerideas

I’m convinced people don’t want just one drink… they want options. 🍋 And what’s more summery than an iced tea bar? @Lipton Tea is a staple around here, so I brewed up some of their Sweet, Classic, and Lemon Iced Tea, then set out some fruit, syrups, and herbs so everyone could dress it up a bit…

A s'mores latte just felt right, ya know? I pulled the espresso before we left so these camping coffees were surprisingly easy: Marshmallow fluff and chocolate syrup in your glass, shaken brown sugar espresso, milk of your choice topped with a s'mores cold foam (2tbs heavy whipping cream, 2tbs…

By far the biggest backyard upgrade we've ever done - thanks to Range Outdoor Living From weeknight grilling to Friday pizza nights, this space has quickly become everyone’s favorite place to gather. A few favorites that made the Lancaster Galley Outdoor Kitchen stand out: ✨The built-in pizza…

If a cookie is doing all the heavy lifting, you're not gonna find me arguing about it. And since we've developed quite the ice cream sandwich habit over here this summer, we needed a good short cut. These came together SO easily with the @Something Sweet Dough 🍪 frozen brown butter cookie dough…

The prettiest thing on the picnic table…and maybe the easiest too ✨ I've said it once and I'll say it again, I LOVE a good backyard party... but I refuse to suffer for festive. We're going for easy, ya? Grab some store-bought angel food cake, strawberries + blueberries and some lemon whipped…

Make me a girl mom in every life 💕 (And just a disclaimer, I love the boy moms too. It's just, if you heard the things people say about three girls - even in front of them - you'd understand why I'm gonna love them out loud as long as I live) #girlmomlife #girlmom #girlmomsoftiktok #sisterhood

#AD | Too hot to bake, but not skipping dessert....so here's a sweet summer staple, simplified ✨ Because is there anything more quintessentially summer than warm little cobbler with some ice cream at the end of the day? Saw these @SaraLeeDesserts cobbler cups and *knew* they'd be a favorite…

...Because who doesn't need an easy Italian summer spread? ad | We all know Olive Garden does top tier dressing, right? (I mean those salads are famous for a reason🤩). This Olive Garden Zesty Italian is that classic flavor we all already love....just with a little more oomph. We marinated…

Clearly my current plans lacked ✨ambition✨ #sorrento #sorrentoitaly #italiansummer #europeansummer #italy
