Weekend links and photos

I happily agreed to attend back-to-back barbecues this weekend because as much summer as possible must be crammed into the next few days.

School starts on Wednesday and so ends our string of late nights and early mornings. And so I’ve made one more broccoli salad, another gallon of sangria and rounded up the portable lawn chairs. There’s a slight chill in the air, but I’ll try to ignore it.

Here are some recipe for both avoiding summers’ end and embracing autumn and back to school:

Preserving summer? It’s on. Also, birthday cake, meals for others, and summer salads: here are a few photos from the week.

Clara

Snack break in the garden with Clara. This is her, every day.

jam

Slow cooker blueberry butter is back and it is as good as ever.

tomatoes

These tomatoes at the market are calling me. Time to can them crushed and Marinara.

meal for others
Another batch of summer foods for others.

pickles

I’m developing a pickle recipe that (hopefully) my son loves as much as store-bought.
cake

Birthday cake for breakfast. Yes, please.

Sangria

Summer fruit sangria. It’s the best!

salads

Summer salads as far as the eye can see, at yesterday’s backyard pool party. Who needs grillables when you have this spread?

Have a wonderful Sunday, all!
