On Sundays We Brunch: Series 2

[heart_this] · Aug 12, 2018 · Leave a Comment

ON SUNDAYS WE BRUNCH IS A WEEKLY COLLECTION OF THOUGHTS, FAVORITES AND LINKS.  FOLLOW ALONG TO DISCOVER NEW THINGS AND REMEMBER OLD ONES!


Welcome to On Sundays We Brunch Series Two!  I’m hoping this will be a time for us to talk about life like we’re really sitting together over brunch and share favorites…articles, recipes, products, books, inspiration, whatever it may be!

Brunch is my favorite because the spirit is light, you have the whole day ahead of you afterwards, and all food is fair game and it often involves champagne.  Urban Dictionary defines brunchin’ as “Midday lunchin’ acting a fool in the mid-morning to lunch time”.  Could there be a more fitting description?

Grab a mimosa, pull up a chair and let’s chat!  Oh, and if anyone wants to act a fool, I’m game.

I just spent a long weekend in Chicago with one of my best friends!  We saw Beyonce and Jay-Z in concert with about 50,000 other crazy fans.  It was the best concert I’ve ever seen, but would we expect anything less from Queen Bey and Jay-Z?!  I was trying to live in the moment so I tried to keep my phone tucked away, but I did snap a few pictures!

I also ate that epic raclette sandwich at the top at the farmer’s market.  How was your weekend?


I’m in love with Glossier cosmetics!  This is seriously some of the most wearable, long-lasting and natural-looking make-up I’ve ever found.  I first heard about it during the Royal Wedding when some Buzzfeed article popped up with tweets or something and someone mentioned Glossier.  Being a total make-up fiend, I had to check it out. I love the foundation, concealer, and powder for starters and all the colors of the Cloud Paint and Haloscope dewy highlighters.  These would be great gifts for the make-up lover in your life!


I’m obsessed with camper remodels and RV living!  It’s quickly taken over my Pinterest browsing and feed.  Anyone else dream of traveling the country in a (super-luxurious) RV?  As long as I have someone to drive it for me…

I love good food.

If you think stuffed mushrooms are a relic of 1970 If you think stuffed mushrooms are a relic of 1970s dinner parties, let me introduce you to the glow-up you didn’t know you needed. These Manchego-Stuffed Mushrooms with Chorizo Breadcrumbs are rich, crispy, and dangerously poppable—so much so that you might accidentally eat an entire tray while “taste-testing.” (Not speaking from experience. Definitely not.)

They’re easy enough for a casual get-together but fancy enough to pretend you have your life together. Perfect for parties, holidays, or a Tuesday night when you need a snack that’s extra.

Get the full recipe on the blog! Link in bio.

While it’s not quick or cheap, the effort is absolutely worth it—each bite is a melt-in-your-mouth experience of sweet onions, creamy cheese, and a flaky crust. Perfect for food lovers who appreciate the magic of slow-roasted onions and decadent, cheesy indulgence.

I know what you’re thinking: squash blossoms in I know what you’re thinking: squash blossoms in late September? Am I out of my mind? Maybe. But hear me out. I found the best-looking squash blossoms I’ve ever come across at the farmer’s market on Saturday, and they were $5 for 3 big bunches and the sweet corn stand was still going on the corner, so you can’t expect me to pass that up. I’ve been waiting to recreate a dish I had at @monteverdechi in Chicago last month, so here we are…with a recipe…for squash blossoms…with sweet corn…in almost October.

I get it—it’s technically the end of squash blossom season, but if you’re lucky, you might still find a stash at your local farmers’ market or, dare I say it, a friendly neighbor’s garden (or your own?). Either way, if you can track some down, these Crab and Ricotta-Stuffed Squash Blossoms are worth the hunt. Trust me, you’ll want to savor every last bite of this seasonal gem. I can easily take down five or six of these.

Lettuce wraps are one of those dishes that sound s Lettuce wraps are one of those dishes that sound simple, but when done right, they pack a punch of flavor that’ll leave you wondering why you don’t make them more often. These Spicy Coconut Chicken Lettuce Wraps are no exception. Sure, they’ve got a few more ingredients than the quick weeknight dinner you might be looking for, but trust me, the payoff is huge. With layers of spicy green curry, creamy coconut, tangy pickled veggies, and two ridiculously good sauces, these wraps are a sensory experience in every bite. Whether you’re a fan of the lettuce wraps at P.F. Chang’s or you’ve fallen in love with the spicy, herb-packed flavors of Thai larb, this recipe is going to blow your mind (in the best way possible). 

Plus, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the ingredient list, I’ve got tips on how to split this into a two-day cooking adventure—because let’s be real, no one wants to spend five hours in the kitchen on a weekday.

Let’s talk s’mores—the ultimate campfire tre Let’s talk s’mores—the ultimate campfire treat: graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows, perfectly toasted over an open flame, leaving your fingers sticky and your soul satisfied. But, sometimes, the outdoors isn’t calling or you want to make them on a larger scale, and making a bonfire in your kitchen is frowned upon. That’s where these S’mores Bars with Toasted Marshmallow Meringue come in. They’re a modern twist on a campfire classic. They’re a perfect make-ahead dessert for parties, tailgates, and bake sales.

We’re taking all the nostalgic flavors of your childhood camping trips and leveling them up—big time. These bars start with a buttery graham cracker crust, are layered with fudgy brownie goodness, topped with rich chocolate ganache, and finished with a cloud of toasted marshmallow meringue. And the best part? You can enjoy these babies without having to swat away a single mosquito. No joke—last time I had a bonfire and made s’mores, my cousin and I came away with over 50 mosquito bites collectively.

Have guests coming over and need to impress withou Have guests coming over and need to impress without resorting to the old standby recipes? Spicy Lobster Pasta with Sungold Tomato Sauce is the kind of dish that says, “I went all out for you”—because, let’s be real, lobster isn’t exactly a budget-friendly ingredient. But when company’s coming, it’s time to pull out the stops. This pasta is decadent, rich, and bursting with fresh summer flavors, thanks to sweet Sungold tomatoes and a luxurious mascarpone-laden sauce. It’s a little spicy, a lot indulgent, and just the thing to make your guests feel like they’re dining at a five-star restaurant—without anyone realizing you’re secretly glad to have an excuse to splurge.

It’s rich, flavorful, and just the right amount of spicy. Plus, there’s a Sungold tomato sauce so smooth it’s like silk wrapped around every strand of pasta. Forget reservations—this is dinner with a serious wow factor, and you didn’t even have to leave your house.

When it comes to dessert, I think that combining f When it comes to dessert, I think that combining fruit with a crispy, buttery topping and serving with vanilla ice cream is one of the most satisfying ways to enjoy the season’s best produce. But let’s be real, there’s always room for improvement. Enter: Salted Caramel Peach Crisp. The salty-sweet, slightly bitter caramel plays off the peaches so well. This dish is the perfect marriage of sweet, juicy peaches and a rich, salty caramel sauce, all crowned with a crisp topping that’s just begging to be devoured.
