With everything going on this summer, I stopped creating recipes and testing them completely. I missed it, but was just too tired and overwhelmed, and stuck to tried and true classics when I did cook. Now that I'm finally feeling better, it feels so good to get creative in the kitchen again!
I wanted to use some jalapeño peppers from the garden before they went bad and was craving a hearty soup, so the other night I decided to try my hand at a buffalo chicken chili and woah.
My last random things post was in May (woops), so this one is a doozy with lots of good stuff! It includes the books I've read, shows I've watched, and some of the things I'm loving right now.

The Women by Kristin Hannah: Without a doubt this was my favorite book of 2024 so far.
Oh hi... It's been a minute! Two months, to be exact. This is the longest I've ever gone without writing on Lemon Stripes since 2010. It felt very wrong but also very necessary.
Earlier in the summer, at the beginning of my book tour, I was diagnosed with Epstein Barr Virus and it totally knocked me off my feet for a while there.
This Instagram-viral dish had me intrigued from the minute I saw it, so I had to try it out with my current go-to Caesar dressing. I've now made it for two BBQs with friends and it always gets gobbled right up.
