Happy Friday! Can you believe that tomorrow is the last week of July?! We are half way through the summer. Saturday we drove up to the Adirondacks to pick our son up from Boy Scout Camp. Sunday was spent running errands, cleaning and doing some food prep for the week. Here are five from this week:
1. Farmers Market – Last Friday after work I visited the farmers market, Market on Market, at Ridge Hill in Yonkers. I ended up getting empanadas for lunch from Leila’s Empanadas.
2. Reading – This week I finished The Other Wife by Claire McGowan. It was an okay suspense book. I am almost finished reading the YA graphic novel When Stars Are Scattered.
3. Cooking– this week I made a corn quiche which I served with this avocado arugula tomato salad.
I also made this overnight blueberry French toast which was a hit!
4. Watching – The Olympics! My favorite events are always swimming and gymnastics. But I’ve also really enjoyed watching skateboarding and beach volleyball! What events have you been watching?
We also got a subscription to Hulu to be able to watch the Olympics so I am catching up on ALL the Real Housewives! We haven’t had cable in years so I’ve missed my reality TV!
5. Eating – Saturday we took the kids out to celebrate my daughter getting a 3 on her AP world exam and my son returning from camp. We went to the Mt. Kisco Diner, which is known for their outrageous, Instagram-worthy dishes. My daughter had the Godfather wrap which is penne vodka and mozzarella sticks in a wrap. But she was especially excited about this salted caramels milkshake that she had!

Tuesday I posted about the Dining Lab at Monroe College.
Sharing with Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend!
That milkshake it crazy huge! Your French toast looks delicious too. How are you enjoying When Stars are Scattered? I thought it was such a good book– very eye opening about what it is like to live in a refugee camp.
Yes, the milkshake was crazy big! She shared! I just finished When Stars are Scattered and gave it 5 stars. I agree, I had no idea that that’s what refugee camps are like. I gave it to my son to read, but not sure he will. Have a great weekend!
Gosh, it looks like you sure had a lot of good food this week! That blueberry overnight French toast sounds delicious and I think my sister would lose her mind over the salted caramel milkshake! And swimming and gymnastics are my favorite Olympic events as well!
Holy crap! That milkshake looks amazing and most certainly Instagram-worthy! Hopefully it tasted as good as it looks! I can’t believe it’s now August. Where di the summer go? My reading mojo is still nonexistent but I’m still hoping to get one book read. 🙂
The milkshake was delicious, according to my daughter! I can’t believe how quickly summer has gone by! Hope you are having a great weekend!
