The Weekend Dish: 8/2/2025
Hello and Happy August to you!
I hope that summer is still treating you well; Iโll admit that I am very much over the high heat and humidity weโve had here for what seems to be at least a few days every single week. We had a cool evening and morning a couple of days ago and it was GLORIOUS! But, weโre still soaking up all of summer in these next few weeks before school starts.
Wishing you an amazing weekend!

Top 5 Most Popularย Posts This Week:
1.ย Copycat Chipotle Chicken Recipe
Most Popularย Product Shares This Week:
1.ย Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Proย - We've had a version of this since before we had kids, and it is by far my favorite small kitchen appliance. We use it every day, multiple times a day; I can't recommend it enough.
2.ย Magnetic Double-Sided Measuring Spoonsย - I had been meaning to add another set to my baking drawer and love that these also include a narrow side for easily getting into jars!
3.ย Indoor Plug-In Fly Trapย - I have used this for the last couple of years; the amount of little fruit flies and bugs that it's catches is amazing!
4.ย Dreamsky Alarm Clocksย - This is the clock all of our kids have in their rooms (and they brought them on vacation!); the time sets automatically, adjusts for DST, you can adjust the brightness, it shows the day, date, temperature, etc. and the alarm function is easy to set - Dominic figured it out himself. Our kids use these, but they would be great for anyone.
5.ย Rubbermaid Brilliance Glass Food Storage Containersย - I replaced most of our plastic tupperware with these glass containers a few years ago and I love them so, so much.
6. Smart Bird Feederย - We got my father-in-law one of these for his birthday earlier this year and my husband was so enamored with it that I got HIM one for HIS birthday shortly thereafter. We all love this; it's so fun to see the different types of birds that show up!
7. Cole & Mason Salt and Pepper Millsย - We recently bought this set for ourselves as we were badly in need of replacing our salt and pepper shakers. These are a bit of a splurge, but they're gorgeous and would also make a fabulous gift!
8. Oribe Dry Texturizing Sprayย - This was one of my Prime Day(s) purchasesโฆ trying to give my thin, fine hair a boost!

What I Bookmarked This Week
I donโt think my summer will be complete without making this chipwich ice cream cake.
I made these crispy smashed potatoes this week, and they were a hit here!
So much flavor packed into this grilled chicken with pepperoncini garlic butter.
Itโs been too long since Iโve had egg roll in a bowl (and love the addition of the fried egg!).
This caramelized Tennessee onion tortellini sounds amazing!
Have a delicious weekend!
