With the weather so hot, I am looking for recipes that are easy and will keep us cool (by not having to turn on the oven!!!!). I love this BLT Skewers recipe. It is super simple and a total crowd favorite. I have made these for Shakespeare in the Park picnics and for my own weeknight dinner. They never disappoint!!
- 1 piece of bacon
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
- 2 cherry tomatoes
- 1 lettuce leaf
- Cook the bacon.
- Toast the bread and cut each slice into quarters (8 squares). You can add Mayo to the bread if you like.
- Cut cherry tomatoes in half.
- Assemble your BLT skewers. Start with the toasted bread, tomato, bacon, and lettuce.
- Enjoy!
- Yields: 2 Skewers
I found one of the cutest companies online..August Morgan. They have the most adorable clothing, embroidered cocktail napkins and glassware. I love the way the napkins look on my bar cart with my vintage glasses but they honestly would look amazing anywhere!!!!! I have the beautiful pink long caftan but the gingham dress with the ruffle sleeves and the long blue and white striped dress are calling my name!!!!

This week’s Fashionable Friend Friday is Michael Kors. A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be able to listen to him speak about his career/life and his thoughts on fashion with Alina Cho at the Met. He was incredible. I have always loved Michael Kors clothing style. It is so simple and chic. The clean lines are amazing and I love the use of the touch of fur in many of his items. I saw a sneak peek of the fall line and ohhhhh is it good. I cannot wait to show more to you later in the summer. In the meanwhile, here are some highlights of my night with Michael Kors!!!!!
