Friday Faves : July 25, 2025


Hello! Happy Friday!

It’s time! Farm fresh produce is in the house! I stopped by a local farmstand this week and picked up some red haven peaches that are perfectly juicy and sweet. My original intent was to make my favorite peach cobbler, but dinner beckoned, and this peachy BBQ grilled chicken entered the chat. I channeled my fave meal of yesteryear, from LA’s fast-causal lunch spot Koo Koo Roo (it’s coming back later this year!), wrapping it in lavash with dollops of salsa alongside a cucumber salad and roasted sweet potato. Yuuuuummm.

I am SO excited to get to the theatre and see this documentary about one of my favorite artists who passed way too soon.

Brace yourself: Here’s what The Farmers’ Almanac is predicting fall will be like.

Here’s why girls’ trips are the ultimate self-care expression.

8 protein-myths you’ve probably heard (and what’s actually true).

This weekend, my cousin Erin is having a pool party for our whole clan, and we’re all bringing something. She’s making bang bang chicken skewers. I’ll be contributing a pasta salad, but I can’t decide which one to make! Give me your vote.

This fresh zucchini and corn salad is like a walk through the garden in your mouth.

And a drink to go with it that sounds so refreshing!

Pickle de gallo … gimme!

Give your quinoa a sweet bite with apple added in.

I LOVE a savory, flavor-bomb Japanese curry.

Bookmark this beefy dinner with melty cheese for fall because you’re going to want to eat it over and over again.

Loaded with protein and flavor, this lovely lentil salad packs it all in.

My my, sweet cherry pie. Look at that golden crust!

Ready in 30 minutes and topped with a golden, buttery panko crunch, these fish tacos are everything you want in a taco night upgrade.

This relish would be so yum on a grilled hot dog.

Break out the sheetpan for this Mediterranean baked cod.

Mango sorbet. Enough said.

This serving platter (that’s on sale!) would be so pretty on any table.

This herby chicken and orzo soup bridges the gap between summer and fall.

Nobody likes walking into a dark kitchen at night, which is why I love battery-operated motion-sensor lights under my kitchen cabinets that turn on when I walk inside.

I’ve wanted to put floor-to-ceiling curtains in our bedroom forever, and this viral IKEA track curtain situation is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

I don’t need a new coffee table, but if I did, this one could be it, especially since it’s nearly 50% off. (I hate paying full price for furniture.)

I bought this silk kimono to lounge about in while I do my makeup in the morning, and it arrived, and I LOVE it. Such great quality and super silky soft.

And, why Japanese walking is the ultimate workout.

These gold double huggies are a fake-out if you only have one ear pierced but want to look like you have two.

For you Apple Watch wearers, this band is a stylin’ welcome to fall.

As my dog becomes older, she’s also become a picky eater when it comes to dog food. Don’t get me wrong, she’ll eat human food all day long. That’s why I tried this human-grade dog food based on lots of recommendations. And it’s 50% off when you enter DEHY50 at checkout if you want to try it too. (Not sponsored, she just likes it!)
