Saturdays At Shop This

 

It's here! The Memorial Day long weekend, and it is jam packed with notable events for my family. There's birthdays galore - my sister's, sister-in-law, and nephew's. "Mr. Shop This" and I will celebrate a special anniversary today. The weather is not cooperating at all! I do hope that you have sunny skies ahead. Enjoy these shopping links.

It's also National Sunscreen Day. You'll find some excellent mineral and chemical free sunscreens in last weeks' post,  Here Comes The Sun. 

Everyone knows this is the best shopping weekend of the year. Be sure to check back on the post: All The Best Memorial Day Sales. So many new links and codes have been added.

A Memorable Memorial Day Feast: One King's Lane has put together a wonderful edit of tips, table settings, recipes and entertaining essentials. 

If you could press escape right now, where would you go? Santorini, the Hamptons, Malibu? Funny enough, I would go to NYC. But if you are traveling somewhere warm, Moda Operandi's packing list for Summer is so good.

Vitamin C: The Miracle Ingredient for Brighter Skin. Adding Vitamin C to your routine is said to give you both instant and long term results. It's a good article with high quality product recommendations.

One of my favorite sale finds are Rifle Paper's  Bent Birch Trays. They are laminated and lovely for outdoor entertaining. With 25% off they are priced right as gifts, too.

Something new from Beekman 1802: CBD Goat Milk Soap for face and body. My favorite bar of soap just got better! I am hoping for a sale yet this long weekend.

Anthropologie is offering an extra 40% off Sale prices. There are some great styles to be had like this casually chic maxi skirt for about $60. Love all of the colors! The Lexi Color Blocked Cardi is 

great, too.

Foodie Friday: Best In Burgers!

 

This roundup of 12 incredible recipes give the basic burger a fresh new twist. Life is simply two short to throw a store bought frozen patty on the grill. This Memorial Day and beyond, try thinking outside of the bun. Just imagine what blueberry BBQ sauce, smoked mac and cheese, or artichoke pesto could do for your burger. The possibilities 

are endless. 

Bruschetta Burgers

These tasty burgers get their name from a bruschetta mixture of tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and fresh basil. Then it is all topped off with a balsamic glaze! If you love tomatoes, you need to click the link and look at the rest of the pictures. You'll be running to the kitchen.

I promise.

How Sweet Eats

Blueberry BBQ Brie Burger

Don't blanch at the idea of blueberries on a burger. I just made turkey breast burgers this evening with blueberries "in" the burger. And the sweet with the tangy sauce makes for a very balanced flavor profile.

Running To The Kitchen

Blue Cheese Stuffed Portobello Burgers

This is my kind of burger....no meat.  It's all topped off with grilled corn and crispy shallots.

How Sweet Eats

Caprese Burger with Artichoke Pesto Sauce

This meal on a bun is packed with fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomato. Then it is topped off with a balsamic glaze and a pesto mayo sauce. YUM!

The Food Charlatan

Lobster Burgers w/Browned Butter Lemon Aioli + Basil Corn Salsa, Bacon ‘n’ Avocado

That title is a mouthful! And I can't wait to get this recipe in my mouth. The lobster demands a good bun, too, like brioche or pretzel bread. 

Half Baked Harvest

Quesadilla Burger

Now this is interesting! This no bread eating girl just might cave in for these crispy tortillas. I will take one with everything on it. Extra sauce please!

Will Cook For Smiles

Mediterranean Turkey Burger

Oh my goodness! This burger is packed with flavorful elements like fresh parsley, feta cheese, and a creamy tzatziki sauce. Make it healthy by using ground turkey breast. On my list!

The Modern Proper

Mexican Green Chili Veggie Burgers
This burger is bursting with flavors and zero meat. It is kept together with a small amount of tortilla chips. How interesting.

Minimalist Baker

Pastrami, Smoked Mac and Cheese Burger

Talk about a burger with everything on it! This one is loaded. Make this up for a hungry crowd.

Bakers Royale

Parm Style Chicken Burgers

When you are in the mood for Italian. Grated onion adds the moisture. I might add that I caramelize my onions and then mix them into the chicken mixture. Looks yummy, right?

Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts

Grilled Burgers with Meyer Lemon Butter

This recipe is thrown into the mix for the unusual addition of lemon butter. Look out Culver's, there's a real butter burger in town. Adding a pat of lemon butter in the center of the burger is said to make it extra tender with a touch of citrus flavor. Sounds good!

Epicurious

Greek Roasted Cauliflower Burgers with Pan Fried Feta and Tomato Olive Salsa 

These burgers are meatless and actually healthy if you take away that yummy pan fried feta. But who wants to do that? I think this is the most interesting of the recipes featured.

Saturdays At Shop This

My busy week is ending on a bit of a stressful note with a funeral and a long drive today. But I sure look forward to some bubbles, both in my tub and my glass, late tonight. Before we all get going with weekend plans, here are some quick links that are worth clicking.

It's rosé season and I found some highly rated bottles at Wine.com. Not all of them are expensive. If you are new to that website, you can save $20 on $100 orders. Use Code: NEW2021

Can't even believe that it is almost Memorial Day! Tuckernuck's Memorial Day edit is filled with festive attire. No worries, you won't look like a flag, but there are some fun flag glasses.

Take a look at Etsy's Outdoor Sales Event. Get prepped for the season and bring your alfresco ideas to life with up to 20% off bold, sunny finds. Make sure you look at the Outdoor Lighting section. You'll find very unique ideas. Rare that Etsy has a sale.

Hope you enjoyed my Disposable Dishes, Etc. edit this week. For even more alfresco dining tips, head to One King's Lane for this perfect post.

Shop two darling sandals at Jack Rogers: The Giselle Bow Sandal in six shades, and the Embroidered Martini Sandal. It's perfect for Happy Hour!

Ordered this Limited Edition Nars Bronzer last week. It's gorgeous. I am so happy with my decision. I will be using it on my eyes, as well.

If you love Philosophy Bath, Body & Skincare, it's a great weekend to stock up and save up to 30%.

Use Code: SAVEMORE

Bright This Way: The bright edit at Neiman Marcus is just what I need for summer. It's fun. Maybe you need it, too.

These Pajama Pants by Retrofete are so wonderful (and expensive)  they need to be worn out and about.

With the price of candles and home fragrance, it's hard to commit to one, without experiencing the aroma first. Lafco makes it easier with their  Lafco’s New Fragrance Finder for your home.  Also consider their Discovery Trio. It's a great buy. I love mine.

May your glass be at least half full this weekend!

Foodie Friday: With A Cherry On Top

 

Cherry season is one of the shortest of all fruits.  Maybe that's what makes them so appealing. I just realized today that I have not done a spotlight post on cherries before. So here we go. Enjoy this roundup of 14 sweet, savory, and tart recipes.

Bourbon Cherry Old Fashion

This recipe reminds me of my Dad. He loved a good old fashion, and always put extra cherries in it. Tip: use a high quality bourbon, as it is a key player in this drink.

Half Baked Harvest

Cherry & Herb Salad
Love a fruit added to a savory salad? I certainly do. This salad sounds delicious on it's own, but could also be used as a relish for grilled meats and fish.

Saveur

Sour Cherry Sorbet

I make homemade ice cream bi-weekly, but have never tried sorbet. This recipe is simple to make and totally vegan. Sweet, tart, tasty!

Heather Christo

Cherry and Peach Panzanella

The author describes this recipe best: "Freshly made croutons. Burrata cheese. Basil. Lemon Champagne vinaigrette. Done and done." I'm in. What about you?

What's Gabby Cooking

Grilled Pork Loin Chops with Balsamic Thyme Cherries

Grilled pork chops are our "go to" in Summer. This sauce will elevate the experience! 

Rock Recipes

Almond Poppyseed Pancakes With Cherry Syrup

Oh yes, please! What a fun and tasty twist on your average pancake. So company worthy.

The Modern Proper

Cherry Ricotta Bruschetta

The perfect bite to enjoy while the main course is on the grill. Pretty enough to serve with cocktails.

Kevin Is Cooking

Cherry Moscow Mules

I have always loved the presentation of one of these drinks, but I am not a vodka drinker. The good news is that this recipe offers other liquor substitutions. Now we are talking!

Platings And Pairings

Radicchio, Peach, And Cherry Summer Salad

This colorful salad is said to be a crowd pleaser. It's so different. For those of you that don't mind taking the easy way out, it calls for Ken's Vidalia 

Onion dressing. 

Bakers Royal

Easy Baked Cherry Cheesecake

Easy and show stopping! What more can a baker want from a recipe?

Sugar, Salt, Magic

Frozen Cherry Cosmos
Aren't these fun? I hope that they are as good as they look. Make up a batch of these and your guests will never leave!

How Sweet Eats

Cherry Meringue Pie

I learned to make meringue from my Grandmother at a very young age....nine maybe. And I still love it, and enjoy making it, What a beautiful pie, and so much more creative than your average

 cherry creation.

Delicious Magazine

Roast Pork Rack With Cherry 

Ginger Relish

What a fabulous looking dish! Keep this recipe for a very special occasion. 

Gourmet Traveller

Chocolate Cherry Scones
Oh my, don't these look wonderful? It almost feels as if you are having brownies for breakfast. If you worry about sugar consumption, the refined stuff has been swapped out for maple syrup. That's a good thing!
