My Favorite Things – August 2023

August 30, 2023

I don’t know about where you are, but August has been really warm here in SoCal! I know there are still a couple more weeks of summer, but the warmth has been a nice way to wrap up these final weeks. And then we’re headed into fall and September. Crazy, right?

I put together a couple of my favorite things (that I actually purchased or tried this month) in case you’re looking for something new or something to cook in the coming weeks. Hope you had a great month!

Favorite Purchases

Hallmark Thank You Cards with Envelopes (Blank, Set of 24) // Do you ever need a quick thank you card but don’t feel like spending $7 on one at the store? Or like me, do you forget to grab one and then never end up sending it? This has happened to me a couple times now, so I finally decided to just buy a set of cards. It’s kind of a weird purchase, but it’s nice to have a set on hand just in case and $11 for 20 cards is way better than the usual cost of a card at the store.

Favorite Recipes

Favorite Recipes - Smothered Chicken
Favorite Recipes - Quick 45 Minute Cinnamon Rolls

Salt & Lavender Smothered Chicken // I get a little tired of plain chicken sometimes, and this Smothered Chicken recipe was a great find! It was easy to throw together and made the chicken a little more interesting. I did throw a little extra seasoning and some extra garlic cloves in the pan with the chicken, but it will definitely be added to my list of chicken dinner options. I served it with mashed potatoes and some sautéed spinach and it made for a nice, hearty dinner!

The Recipe Critic Quick 45 Minute Cinnamon Rolls // I’ve made this recipe multiple times, but forgot about it until recently. It’s a nice and easy way to make cinnamon rolls without having to spend multiple hours in the kitchen and produces a really good cinnamon roll! So if you’re looking for a quick cinnamon roll recipe, this one is definitely worth a try!


Alright, that wraps up this month’s post! Hope everyone had a great August and cheers to the month ahead!
