As long as it took you to

watch this entire Reel, it’s only going to take you 6 minutes and 40 seconds more to actually make this 7 minute French Dip Sandwich!

If there is a French Dip on the menu, you can bet, I’m going to order it.

One of my all-time favs is from Nordstrom‘s cafe (here in Austin it’s called Bazille). I mostly enjoy it because I’m typically having lunch there with my best girlfriends.

If you’re a fan like me, simply make it home with easy, deli, roast beef, and a French baguette from the bakery.

The au jus is easy to make as well with just some beef stock, brown gravy mix, and a packet of au jus.

Bring that to a boil, and then simply dip your deli roast beef into it until it is warm through. Only about 2 to 3 minutes.

While that is cooking, toast your baguette or don’t. I won’t tell you how to eat your sandwich, but I prefer mine toasted.

Top with a few slices of provolone. The heat from the beef with make it nice and melty.

And now I’m dying to know what you can’t resist ordering when you see it on a menu?!!

I can’t stop.

This was one of those little hacks I learned a while back and it’s changed me forever.

No more whacking at the pit with a sharp knife and twisting to release. Then the pit is stuck on the knife causing more potential collateral damage.

Make sure your avocado is ripe (tender to the touch) and this works every time.

If there was one thing you could

eat for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Mine?

Definitely creamy mashed potatoes and turkey gravy!

But I most certainly could eat this Cowboy Caviar every summer all summer long!

And it’s one of those recipes that gets better over time. Grab it on my site!

I am not the biggest fan of

Birthday Cake flavored things.

Then why did I ever post a recipe for Birthday Cale Ice Cream?

Because I knew most of you would love it!! I did a pill years ago on my Instagram stories and I asked you which flavors of ice cream do you like the most.

Number one of course was chocolate. But a super close second was birthday cake.

So many of you love this recipe because it’s in the top five of the most viewed recipes on my website.

That’s where you can grab the recipe so you can make this all summer long!

Would you rather only be able to watch

your favorite movie for the rest of your life

OR

Read your favorite book for the rest of your life?

*I’d love to know what your favs are when you comment!

Today we went to the pool and I was wishing I had some of this fresh watermelon mint water.

I’m not a huge mint fan so I only add a little to mine. Feel free to add as much as you like!

Would you rather go back

and be a 9 year old kid with a carefree summer

OR

Visit your 17 year old self, but you can only tell yourself two sentences?

Just curious.

Oh, this is my family’s favorite summertime treat/drink.

Watermelon Slush
Freeze watermelon cubes until solid.
Blend about 2 cups cubes along with 2 tbsp of your favorite lemonade mix and 4-5 cups of cold water.
Serve.

I always will

reach for a Strawberry Lemonade whenever I get a chance.

At a restaurant or the grocery store.

But what I love most is making a big batch of Strawberry Basil Lemonade (recipe on my site) during the summer months.

There is something about that fresh basil that you never knew you needed in your LIFE!!!

Make it for a summer BBQ, pool party or a fancy soirée! I pinky promise it will be the first drink you’ll have to refill!

Have you ever had something

one time and decided right then and there you didn’t like it and were going to hate it forever?

I grew up being that person when it came to food and even if I didn’t like the look of it, I wouldn’t try it and decided I never wanted it ever again.

I kind of feel that way when it comes to big beans and other people. I have heard so many people say that they hate baked beans until they have had mine.

Others who have sworn off baked beans for their whole life always come back for seconds when it comes to this recipe!

Grab it in my site!

Is there a food that you tend to

hyper focus on each season?

Let’s face it.

I could eat chips and salsa all year long, but when it comes to summer, I’m all for Cowboy Caviar!

I know there are some recipes out there that call for Italian dressing, but I promise my simple dressing is way better!

Full recipe on my site (search Cowboy Caviar) but here are the dressing ingredients you’ll need:

FOR DRESSING
▢ 1/3 Cup Olive Oil
▢ 1 tsp White Wine Vinegar
▢ 3 TBSP Lime Juice Freshly Squeezed
▢ 1 tsp Kosher Salt
▢ 1 tsp Granulated Sugar
▢ 1/2 tsp Pepper Freshly Cracked
▢ 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
▢ 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
▢ 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
▢ 1/2 Jalapeno Pepper Optional

So tell me what your summer food obsession is!

Did you see it? The little bug that made everyone

upset the first time I posted this?

I always find it funny when people point out the most random things, but I do love that watch my Reels. So, I’ll take it!

This is such a simple combination of fresh pineapple, fresh thyme and water. It’s perfect to have on repeat all summer long!

Crust to crust is a must.

Send this to the person who needs a little tutorial.
