Hi all my sun-kissed, beautiful friends! Please tell me you’ve been enjoying this gorgeous (although at sometimes smothering hot) weather as much as I have? I’ve been all about the beach this month – walks, drinks, lounging, you name it, I’m there at the beach.
P.S. There was a SHARK a few nights ago just north of where I live on the island. How scary is that? The ocean creatures are real my friends, too, too real. There haven’t been as many sightings or “attacks” as there were last year, but still. I’m not going in that water any further than my feet…
I know I’ve kinda fallen off the food blog grid this month (read above paragraph re: being on the beach all. the. time.) and hopefully soon I’ll be getting back to posting on a much more consistent schedule. Nonetheless, let’s talk about June!
{A FEW} RECIPES I MADE IN JUNE….
- Watermelon Mint Cocktails – only the healthiest cocktail around, right? It at least feels that way, and it’s been sooo refreshing on those almost intolerable hot days.
- Artichoke Flatbread Pizza – dinner ready in 15 minutes? Coming right up!
- Mahi Mahi Tacos w/ Sriracha Slaw – if you haven’t tried these yet, just trust me and go do it.
I’M LOVING…
- The kindness of others. Y’all, we just need to spread a little more love, even it’s just a smile passing on the streets.
- Sunsets.
- FRESH HERBS. I don’t think I need to say more, but I will. I love my little herb garden, and it is bursting at the seams. I’ve got big plans for it… big, big plans.
- The results of the best state to grow up in. The data doesn’t lie, and I haven’t been either all those times I’ve ranted and raved about Minnesota either.
- Rainbows, cause there’s always bound to a rainbow at the end of a big, unexpected storm.
I’M DYING TO MAKE…
- Thyme Pistachio White Bean Dip topped w/ Thyme Pistachio Pesto – whoa on the flavor train and it’s not slowing down. This dip sounds freakin’ fabulous, doesn’t it?
- Paleo Bang Bang Cauliflower – I’m far, far from paleo. However, that doesn’t mean I’m not dying to try this recipe!
- Oreo Layer Cake – maybe I’ve mentioned my Oreo obsession before? I’ll just leave this here.

What’d you make this month? Any exciting adventures?! I’d love to hear all about it – leave me a comment, or #forkinthekitchen on Instagram or Facebook, and don’t forget to send snaps or follow along with the upcoming ROAD TRIP (@forkinkitchen)! Happy (early) 4th of July!
