Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. Pretty # 1 – Happy first second day of summer! I’m totally not counting yesterday as the first day because ours was terrible. Not cold. Not wet. Not dreary. But CRAZY windy to the point where it was just plain unpleasant to be outside. So I spent my entire day inside, and we’re just gonna do a Take 2 today. But here’s some pretty summer flowers anyways.
2. Pretty #2 – Speaking of pretty, I went ahead and ordered a new 2018 Erin Condren Life Planner… even though we’re a good 5-ish months away from next year. BUT, in my defense, they started doing this awesome thing where you can buy a planner that goes from July- July, whiiiiiich doesn’t sound like it makes a lot of sense, but since EC launches their new planners in June and I can never hold off once I see the new ones, it’s perfect for me. I decided to go with the neutral colour scheme and a vertical layout, in case you were wondering.

3. Pretty #3 – my June Ipsy bag came! And it basically rocks my socks right off…
St Tropez? Favourite self tanner. Love it to bits. Blue nail polish? Probably won’t wear it on my fingers, but super cute for the toes. Makeup sponge? Favourite way to put on foundation and can ALWAYS use another one. Black eyeliner? How did they know I was running out?!? And natural mascara? Always happy to find something a little less toxic 😆
4. Delicious #1 – I made muffins! But they were for my dad (for Father’s Day), so I don’t exactly have a recipe for you guys. BUT! The good news is that the recipe is in my cookbook (Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins, pg. 98), so you can find it there if you’re interested. And thank you again to everyone who’s bought the book so far! Real MVP is what you are.
5. Delicious #2 – I do have cookies that I’m super excited to share with you though, so hopefully I can get those out soon.
6. Delicious #3 – Stir fries! I can’t get enough, and probably end up eating them at least 5 nights a week. But the veggies, and the rice, and the sauce… unnnngggghhh. To die for.
7. Delicious #4 – Speaking of stir fires fries, in case anyone is looking for a substitute for soy sauce (whether that be for allergies, intolerances, sodium, etc.), these coconut aminos from Naked Coconuts are SO tasty (not sponsored). Actually, I have a feeling that might be why I’m so addicted to my stir fries in the first place 😆
7. Delici… Actually, that doesn’t sounds right when I’m signing off. But I hope you guys are having an awesome Thursday, and I’ll see you soon! 😀
Let’s chat!
No questions! Just tell me whatever randomness comes to mind!

That stir fry looks gorgeous! One of those I-don’t-want-to-mess-it-up-it’s-so-pretty-what-if-I-just-shove-it-all-in-my-mouth-at-once dinners.

Those muffins look incredible!! Is there a way to substitute the chocolate for maybe white chocolate and raspberries? I’m a huge chocolate lover but my husband isn’t..and I wouldn’t want to make these with me being the only one to eat them! Haha.
Erin @ Erin's Inside Job
Hey Amanda! Just an FYI it wouldn’t let me add my link bc it said there was no backlink but there is so….
Also I need to make those muffins ASAP
Emily Swanson
That cheesecake swirl in your muffins looks SO GOOD! 🙂 And your stirfries look beautiful.
Also, aren’t summer/spring flowers so wonderful? Do you have a favorite spring flower or summer flower there in Canada?
Sarah @ Foxy's Domestic Side
I agree coconut aminos are so good, it’s like how it is possible this is so good?! Hopefully today is a less windy day and those muffins look so dang good!
lindsay Cotter

OH wow- didnt know it was officially summer! Im loving stir fries too, but I usually use soy sauce. That non soy one sounds intriguing!
Catherine @ A Cup of Catherine
Those muffins look fantastic!
And so does that stir fry. I guess I need to go eat breakfast! 😉

it’s funny how someone will post about something that seems so random, but is exactly what i need, which is the case with your coconut aminos!!

You’re making me hungry!!!

We had stir fry for Father’s Day and I hadn’t had it in so long. It made me want to go to a hibachi grill where they build you towers of flaming onions and set them on fire. It’s like a food theme park!
