Saturdays At Shop This

{ Via: ZsaZsa Bellagio }

And, this is exactly what I want to do this weekend......bask in the sun and read. It might not be likely, since it is the weekend of Chicago's Air & Water Show. More than a million of my closest friends will visit the Lake Shore. I will stay tucked away on my perch 31 stories up, watching it all unfold. Whatever you have planned, I hope that you make the most of the weekend. Before the relaxation begins, here are some links to love.

When is the best time to buy outdoor furniture and accessories? At the end of the season, of course. One King's Lane has over 3,500 styles marked down up to 60% off. I love all of the pretty umbrellas and hammocks!

HERE: 17 Reasons To Cook This Weekend

Breville Crispy Crust Pizza Maker

I have owned one of these for a few years. So much better than delivery, and a fun dinnertime activity for friends and family. Now 50% off.

Williams Sonoma

Grilled Tomato, Fig and Prosciutto Pizza

Entertaining? impress your guests with this beautiful and very unique starter.

Half Baked Harvest

Nutri Ninja Blender

I need this, and you do, too, if you start your day with a smoothie or healthy juice. I am about to have some oral surgery, and this is just the thing to own for healthy healing. The secret is the included vac that takes out the oxygen from your fruits and veggies. Click the link to see a video. Best yet, it is marked down by $80.

Best Buy

Two Minute Green Smoothie

I have to admit that I am not much of a smoothie person. The last one I had was a complimentary starter at the fabulous Parker Palm Springs Hotel. I must admit it was yummy. And this one looks almost too pretty to eat. It's a genius recipe that you make and store in the freezer the night before. 

Half Baked Harvest

Staub 1.5-Qt. Petite French Oven

Fabulous in matte black but also available in other stylish shades.  This  French oven is perfect for cooking grains and other sumptuous sides.  It's also great for simmering jams, soups and stews. In comparison, this is well priced with free shipping. 

One Kings Lane 

Pesto & Goat Cheese Risotto

Oh my! This is one yummy looking bowl. Where's a fork?  I adore making risotto. It's a process that is so rewarding. This a "must try" for me.

BBC Good Food

KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer

My friend, Sharon, has just bought herself one, and has been putting it to good use. I have a little appliance envy, I must admit. Get this one while it's on sale!

Macy's

No Churn Minted White Chocolate Swirled Ice Cream
This is the base recipe I use whenever I make ice cream.  It never fails. It's a pretty dish and so much better than the kind that come in the cardboard containers.  I keep a loaf pan in the freezer at all times. It keeps the cream cold, and works out perfectly
Half Baked Harvest

Calphalon Signature Ceramic Nonstick
 Loaf Pan
Save $10 on this perfect Loaf Pan!
Williams Sonoma

Peach Tart
Gluten Free & Vegan
Isn't this a beauty? It's said to be easy, and the KitchenAid mixer above will make it a snap.
Heather Christo

Marble and Stainless Steel Servers

These are a great buy at more than 50% off. They are casually elegant and will go with most tabletop decor. Wouldn't they be pretty in the bowl of lobster pasta below.

Save an Extra 20% off. Use code TAPAS19 

at checkout.

Sur La Table

Lobster Roll Pasta

This is the perfect Summery pasta dish. What a wonderful idea for an end of Summer celebration.

Broma Bakery

Dash Milkshake Maker
I saw this in person last weekend at the store. If I didn't already own one, I would have bought it at full price. It's so cute, retro, and just perfect. 20% off your entire order: Use code TAPAS19 at checkout.
Sur La Table

3 Ways With Milkshakes, From The Williams Sonoma Test Kitchen
Think Banana Coconut Caramel, S’mores Milkshake, and White Chocolate–Raspberry. Heaven! 
Williams Sonoma

Ballarini Mini Saute Pans 
Aren't these good looking? I would use these for individual servings of many things like mini fritattas or individual Mac & Cheese servings. They are on sale and can also be purchased on "easy pay." 
QVC

Roasted Summer Vegetable Mac & Cheese
Now let's face it, veggies smothered in cheese is never a bad thing is it? This recipe lightens up a classic for Summer. I think it is a great way to end the season. Serve it 
in the silver servers above.
How Sweet Eats
