Gardenista, Fresh Salads, a beautiful Design Portfolio

Hi everyone.  Welcome to our Sunday Favorites. Each Sunday, Annie, Mary Ann, and I try to bring you all things fun that we discovered the week before.  Let’s take a look at Gardenista, Fresh Salads, a Beautiful Design Portfolio

FATHER’S DAY SALADS

I posted these two salads in stories and people went crazy asking for the recipes, justifiably so. I made Cher Castellano’s White Bean Salad

Lauren made this octopus and fingerling potato salad from T & TThese are two of the best salads I have had this year. The octopus salad could be served as a main dish as well as the white bean.  You could also add chicken to the white bean salad.

OUTFIT OF THE WEEK

We are going to be attending a wedding reception in August and I am trying to figure out what to wear. I think this fun skirt from Le Sireneuse for Matches is pricey.  I would wear it with a white shirt tied at the waist or dressed up a bit with a wide red patent belt.  The fun sandals from Laidback London would not kill your feet.  All of the accessories are inexpensive.  All are linked below the graphic

Faster Way to Fat Loss

I am a big weight watchers fan.  It has worked for me on and off for many years.  However with Covid, the move (and any other excuse I can find) I have definitely put on a few pounds.  I finally decided  (maybe Karen twisted my arm!!) to give Faster Way to Fat Loss a try. If you would like to join our group it begins on June 28 and you can register here. It will be a bit of a challenge next week as I am babysitting Summer.  FYI I do not benefit in any way if you join, just the camaraderie and getting to know you all a little better! I heard via the grapevine that Jennifer (from a well-styled life) is going to do it as well.  So if you need a little push like me (I have been thinking of every excuse in the book to avoid it).  Come join us if you need a little push like me.  Our coach will be Karen Karlsen from last month’s Ageless Style.

KATIE DENHAM INTERIORS

Do you follow Katie Denham on IG.  Katie used to pen the blog Katie D-I-D.  It was a wonderful blog.  You can now find her on Instagram and you can see her wonderful portfolio here.  Katie did a great fountain in her backyard years ago that we copied at the lake. This is the charming front porch of her Sacramento home.

I am crazy about every element in this design for one of her clients.

    Cindy,
    I love the outfit you’ve selected for an August wedding. The white bean salad looks great. Gardenista is essential for learning more about specific plants.
    I’m headed over to Mary Annb.
    xo,
    Karen

    I think I need to join The Faster Way to Fat Loss. I just ate 3 cookies after walking this morning! And clothes are tight. Thanks for the link and the $99 code. And I plan to make the White Bean Salad for Fourth of July!

      Hi Leslie

      Cookies aren’t my problem…bread and pasta that is another matter. You will love that salad. My daughter in law the fabulous cook, thinks it is one of the best she has ever had. It is easy, and it is good the next couple of days as well.
