Better backyards, no/low-cook suppers, and what little eyes see

Hi!

Thanks to reader L for reminding me to re-share about this incredible book: Yearning with Fire. It’s a beautiful, consumable book broken into daily lessons that’s been perspective-changing for me.

JUST A Q

What is your favorite outdoor toy, for any and all ages? Looking to extend our hours of backyard fun.

JUST FOR YOU

🌟TIP: Use the change of pace of summer to upgrade your life in a small way. Reader C recommends this journal to “make your life a happier place!”

🥘HACK: Get out of the kitchen. Some summer days are too hot to spend over the fire. There are a million ways to cool off your cooking but here are three low-cook supper ideas.

• Breakfast for dinner: Scrambled eggs, fresh pitas, Israeli salad, and smoothie make for a light yet filling, delicious summer night meal.

• Deli sandwich night: Good bread or baguettes, a selection of deli, pickles, and a ketchup/mustard/mayo bar. Feels like a picnic and tastes like summer, yum! 😋

• Salad bar night: Set out a big bowl of lettuce and a selection of toppings — cucumber, tomato, corn, avocado, olives, etc. — and let everyone build their own + choose a protein: feta cheese, tuna, chickpeas, or leftover grilled chicken.

PS: If you’re serving just eggs or just pitas for supper… well, so are we. 😄
