I made a caprese pasta salad for 4th of July in Salem. Here’s the start of it! (I share food stuff on IG stories a lot–this pasta included–so if you like that sort of thing, check it out!) Everyone loved it! (Except me. At 32, I’m still not a huge fan of raw tomatoes. I wish I could get over it. Note: I WILL still eat them!) Today it’s rainy so we might do a movie date with the boys, and we’ve got some plans with friends this evening! Hope you all have a nice weekend. I’ll be back next week to share some more of our trip (I’m really getting behind), among other things!
Some weekend reading…
These paint sticks are back in stock and they are awesome!
Movies coming to Netflix this month. (An aside, I really want to see The Zookeeper’s Wife)
A Netflix pop-up hotel with themed rooms. Like one for OITNB with bunks and handcuffs. What?
Martha Stewart’s most pinned smoothies. Have you ever tried oats in yours?
Have you guys seen the new Brass clothes? This cropped crew is awesome.
A group of journalists taking on ISIS in a new film. This was really moving.
Beautiful new Instagram I’m following that’s just increasing my U.S. Parks longings.
These cute pants (I want ’em in white) are on sale.
Have a good weekend!
That hotel… what?? And your salad looks so good!

I’m with you on raw tomatoes. Can’t get past the slimy/seedy aspect. And I want to see the zookeepers wife too but want to read it first.
Same to being 32 (but barely for me) and still not being able to get on board with raw tomatoes. They look pretty in the dish you made at least, and good for other people enjoying them! 🙂
your salad looks beautiful!!! and i am the same with the tomatoes. however, my aunt just made a caprese salad soooo i manned up and went for it with the tomatoes and it was delicious! still not ready to be a full on raw tomato water, though!
***or eater. tomato eater.
i made that Caprese salad tonight but instead of pasta I used white beans. it wasn’t my idea. saw it on skinnytaste.com. but, it was delish!
i love that idea!!
Oh, and have you gotten into the cauliflower rice craze? i made a cauliflower rice risotto recipe with asparagus, coconut milk, parmesan cheese, with a dollop of pesto on top. i added crimini mushrooms to mine. it was so good and light for summer.
