Hello hello and happy Friday!
My tulips are blooming! The trees are flowering! The sky is blue and the grass is green! IT IS SPRING! And I am here for it because that means we are nano-seconds from spring produce and just a few more til summer’s arrives! I’m not waiting though. This week I made a classic summer dinner for me and my mom and it was all I needed to get inspired for more. We’re both huge shrimp lovers so I made us my shrimp scampi pasta with a side of cheesy zucchini alongside a simple Caesar salad. It was exactly what we were craving — light, bright, and oh-so-flavorful. If you’re feeling spring too, give it a try.
But first, let’s dig into this week’s Friday Faves. Enjoy!

Ann, so glad you agree!
Always love these lists Heidi! I am totally digging on this recipe and adding to my must try soon – Sloppy Joe stuffed peppers, and also Olive Oil Brownies. I have been subbing Olive Oil with a lot of baking recipes calling for canola oil or any seed oil for that matter, and they usually turn out so much better! Thanks for the constant inspiration!
Sounds like some solid ideas Denise. Thanks for sharing them XO
