Friday Finds #277

58. That’s the number of items I have saved up to share with you in Friday Finds! I hate to be cliche but this summer has been crazy! I keep thinking I’m going to sit down and write one (which usually takes a 75 minute work block), but it just kept getting bumped. *sigh*

On the positive side, I always have lots of great things to share with you, and the more I have saved, the choosier I become. So, you really DO get the best of what I think is worth your time.

I hope you’ve had a great summer thus far – enjoy what’s left!

One of my friends made this salad for our supper club, and it was delicious! Summer Peach Spinach Salad with Avocado, Toasted Almonds, and Goat Cheese (Ambitious Kitchen).

BTW, Is it just me, or is it like a rule that salads have to have super long names if they’re anything beyond a simple Chef or Ceasar? LOL
