There's nothing better than rounding up the pals + partaking in some ridiculously fabulous outdoor dinner chatter! Create the perfect ambiance for a stellar summer night dinner.

 

Thanks to Mrs. Lilien she shows us how!

 

 

TUESDAY TUNES

I stumbled across this video while perusing through You Tube last night. An emotional cover on a beautiful song done by a soldier passing time on a military base.

#1 love this song (lyrics are beautiful)
 #2 a soldier with such talent
#3 Thank you soldier for your service to our country...

Enjoy!

 

 

NEED YOUR HELP & or SUGGESTIONS?

Hoping someone out there can recommend a T Shirt Printing Company or site I can use.... I am looking to create some t-shirts for a special occasion and will need about 2 dozen.

 Any recommendations? 

Feel free to email me at marlenafits@gmail.com or add a comment below.

Thank you!

SUMMER TIME TREAT

INGREDIENTS:

4 ripe peaches
1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar (high quality)
1 tablespoon honey
1 can full fat coconut milk, refrigerated over night
5 teaspoons lavender sugar (or other sweetener)
chopped walnuts to garnish


HOW TO:

- you'll want to make the balsamic glaze a little ahead of time if possible, this will give it a chance to thicken up a bit. to prepare, combine honey and balsamic in a medium weight pan and bring to a boil. reduce heat to a simmer and cook until it becomes thicker and syrupy- 15-25 minutes. remove from heat and set aside.

- prep peaches by coating both sides of the halves in grapeseed oil

- heat grill or grill pan to medium/low

- place peaches on grill and cook covered, roughly 3-4 minutes on each side, until they're soft and have grill marks

- while peaches are cooking combine the solid part of the coconut milk with the lavender sugar. beat with a hand mixer on high until the consistency of whipped cream is achieved (should only take a minute or so!)

- serve warm peaches with a dollop of whipped cream, a light drizzle of balsamic and chopped walnuts to garnish

- & enjoy!

Coming back to NYC on such a high. Had a great time in New Jersey spending quality time with family. 

We did everything from:

• Hours spent poolside
• BBQ's
• Toms River Golf Club
• Cuddletime with Parker
• Frozen Margarita's!
• Bike Rides
• Beach Runs
• & last but not least, my once a year ice cream treat at Charlies! A chocolate peanut butter waffle cone aka heaven!

I hope your fourth of July was spent with those you love!
