And just like that…Christmas in July is over. 🙂 But I indulged in Christmas movies on Hallmark Channel and I couldn’t be any happier. And July was filled with good food, fun and friends. I’ve shared everything here on the blog so let’s head on to the recap and take a look at what you might have missed.
Fun with Friends
The hubs’ friend since grade school, Lewis, is in the county so we got together again like we usually do when he’s in town. We first hit this place that is known for enjoying books and drinks at the same time. Then we grabbed us some lobster afterwards. Later on in the month, his wife arrived in the city and we all enjoyed some Mexican food.

Fun with Fam
We finally got to see my crush since I was a tween, Tom Cruise, in his latest blockbuster film, Top Gun: Maverick. I can’t wait to watch it again so I hope it’s going to be on Cable or Netflix soon!

Recipes & More
I make sure to share versions of my favorite recipes every month. Last month, I shared about one of my favorite side dishes and one of our favorite air fryer recipes.


I also talked about this delicious drink that is good for the gut, as well as this awesome nasal spray to hydrate and cleanse the airway. Have you tried any of them yet?
That’s a wrap!
How was July for you? I hope it was wonderful. Here’s to a great August!
I’ve been meaning to try roasting my own butternut squash. It’s great you can make it in an air fryer.
I’ve been meaning to catch up on my reading and doing some projects around my home. I love that fact that you can make everything in the air fryer.
The food look delicious! I need to try your chicken wing recipe asap. July is my birth month, so yes enjoyed a lot 😍🙂.
