It seems only yesterday we were welcoming fall. School was starting, leaves were turning, and the PSL was everywhere again. With Halloween now done, it sometimes feels like we are about to get on the fast track to the holidays. Personally, I’m in no rush. November is Here and I’m all for it. This week’s Friday Five is filled with some fun reads, good recipes, and a few home and style things I’m loving lately. Happy Friday, y’all!

It’s fall school break here in Minnesota and while Lane is off on a Chicago adventure (check out our InstaStories for fun highlights of her trip!), I’m soaking up a few days of fun, local fall adventures with my kids. Fall is always such a fun time – trips to apple orchards, cozy evenings by bonfires with friends, and lots of comfort food cooking. This week I’m sharing some things I’m loving this fall in our Friday Five: All The Fall Break Things.

We are currently away on a delightful, end of summer trip out east.  While I’m loving the hot (and humid!) lazy last days of August, I’m definitely NOT ready for summer’s swan song. I’m keeping this week’s Friday Five short and sweet, with a few things I’m loving right now, articles I’ve enjoyed, and a few plans for the fall season. Happy reading, friends.

Life has been a bit of a whirlwind lately and my time in the kitchen has been a little limited, much to my dismay. I love to try new recipes and typically aim to try 1-2 each week. I’m still working away at my #52weeksproject (and will post an update later this summer), and while my recipe trials have slowed down in recent weeks, my list of recipes I am itching to make just keeps growing. I’ve got new cookbooks peppered with post-it notes, recipes pulled from magazines, and blogs and pins saved to my computer. Now I just need to find some time to cook – and some hungry people to eat all of that good food. This Friday Five is all about the Summer Recipes I Can’t Wait To Try!

It’s grill season and I’m absolutely itching to give these Grilled Gorgozola Potatoes a try. Carbs and cheese? It’s a guaranteed winner.

Oat milk is all the rage with the cool kids these days. Here’s how to make your own.

Another grill recipe I think sounds fantastic? Browned Butter Grilled Peaches with Cinnamon “Toast” Brioche Crumbs. I’ve grilled peaches before (check out our recipe for Grilled Peach and Arugula Salad) but I love the idea of the toast crumbs to add texture and a whole other level of flavor!

I’m always a fan of a one-pot recipe. This One Pot Pasta Primavera with Summer Veggies and Ricotta looks awesome and easy!

Coffee Caramel Ice Cream Pie. It’s basically all of my favorite things in one single recipe. The Vanilla Bean Blog always gets it right and I’m certain this recipe will be a new family favorite.

Watermelon is everywhere right now and so fresh and delicious. I’m planning to give these Mezcal Margarita Watermelon Wedges a try next weekend.

How refreshing and perfect for summer does this Smoky Grilled Chicken with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce sound?

I love a great summer side dish and this Thai Cucumber Salad sounds fantastic.

Hot Honey Butter Bath Corn. Um…what? This one could be a sweet corn game changer.

Are you looking for another new recipe to try? Why not give our Spinach Salad with Maple Dijon Dressing a shot? It’s easy and full of flavor.
