Thanks for joining me for another Nine Favorite Things post.
Happy Father’s Day everyone! I’m hoping you’re spending the day spoiling your dad and showing him just how much you love him. I’m so very happy to be spending the day with my dad, along with the rest of my very large family, while on vacation here in the Caribbean. It’s been such a fun trip and so great to unplug and recharge my batteries a little.
Spending time with my family is the best. We’ve been soaking up the sun, doing some silly touristy things, and simply enjoying warm weather, it’s pretty much perfect. Definitely feeling very lucky and happy right now.
Coming up this week on HBH I’ll be kicking the week off with a summer salad, moving on to something a little fruity, sharing a cheesy quesadilla, a fun chicken dish, and ending the week with something cold…but of course delicious!

Also over on The Chriselle Factor is this easy no-cook grilled shrimp scampi with zucchini noodlesdish. Loving this recipe so much right now. It’s the perfect summertime recipe.

Bonus: Our Local Firefighters
As some of you may know, a fire broke out earlier this week very close to my home in Silverthorne, CO. Thankfully we did not have to evacuate, but many residents did. So grateful for the incredibly brave fire firefighters who’ve been working non-stop to get the fire under control.
