Good morning friends and happy Friday to you! It’s been another HOT, sultry week here, how about in your “neck of the woods?’ Has it been hot, stormy, or are you enjoying a little cool weather? For those of you that are near the fires, you are in my prayers.

I have lots to share as always, so settle in with your favorite beverage and maybe a few snacks and let’s get too it.

Food

If I could I would eat pizza or pasta every day and this Sourdough Gnocchetti Sardi with Basil Pesto Sauce would be on the menu at least once a week.

Speaking of pizza, this recipe for Neapolitan Pizza looks easy and delicious. As soon as we can find our  which seems to be lost in a sea of boxes I am going to make this! If you love homemade pizza,   is a splurge but it is one of our favorite things that we own. We make homemade pizza almost every Friday night and have since my husband “gifted” us this for Christmas last year.

If you are already thinking about Fall, and I am, these mini chicken pot pies are perfect for cool Fall evenings.

Do you like Greek lemon chicken? If so I think you will love these Greek Lemon Potatoes.

I’ve made zucchini bread with my summer bounty from the farmers market but never Blueberry Lemon Zucchini Cupcakes! I think I am going to try these this week.

Just in case you missed it, this week I posted one of my favorite summer recipes, homemade brownie ice cream sandwiches,  if it is not too hot you could make some this weekend. An alternate and super easy recipe is to take chocolate graham crackers and sandwich them with cool whip topping, wrap in tin foil, freeze and in a few hours you have “ice cream” sandwiches.
